From the Chicago Tribune:
UAL Corp.’s United Airlines plans to cut 1,550 flight attendant jobs, Bloomberg News and Crain’s Chicago Business reported Wednesday.
In a notice to the flight attendants’ union, United said it’s offering voluntary furloughs of six to 21 months starting Oct. 31 and hasn’t announced layoffs.
“As we reduce the size of our fleet and [...]

I know this is old news, but since I’ve been pretty disconnected for the past week other than my daily updates, I figured I’d make a quick post on the subject.
The International Herald Tribune reports:
Frankfurt and Hamburg airports will be the hardest hit on Monday when 52,000 employees of Lufthansa AG go on strike, a [...]

As everyone should know by now, I love visiting the UAL ALPA website, both for the entertainment value as well as to see what they’re thinking. They just posted a new “5 Questions With…” interview, which I always enjoy because they’re consistently the most poorly produced and poorly acted out interviews out there (well, perhaps with [...]

Here’s something I found interesting. The UA union had a rally this past past week in Woodland Hills, California, and their coverage of it made me chuckle at least a few times.
First of all, you get a version of “Free Falling” just by opening the UA ALPA website, so enjoy that. I actually found it [...]

As I posted about just yesterday, United sent out an email to some of their frequent flyers encouraging them to approach pilots in airports. Being the natural skeptic I am I questioned how the unions would feel about this, and not surprisingly they responded. How they responded, though, is beyond disgusting in my opinion.

Dare I say it, I’m actually starting to agree more and more with unions! I’m generally not a pro-union guy, so I’m not sure if it’s the incompetence of the current UA management team that’s making me feel that way or what.

Pilots at US Airways ousted their union, the Air Line Pilots Association, on Thursday, replacing it with an insurgent group, a move that raised further questions about the carrier’s ability to combine operations after its 2005 merger with America West Airlines.
The vote was closely watched because the issue that caused the schism at US Airways [...]

This from Captain Steve Wallach (UA) & Captain Jay Pierce (CO):
Of the Air Line Pilots Association In Reaction to the Announced Merger Between Delta Airlines and Northwest Airline
“For the past several years, mergers and consolidation have been part of the vernacular of the airline industry. Monday’s announcement of a merger involving Delta and Northwest Airlines [...]

While checking the United ALPA website today not only did I find a letter addressed to pilots (which has some valid points but is a bit emotional and overdone, in my opinion), but I also found that the hat switch is OFF! This is the first time in at least a couple of months it [...]

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With an eye toward their critical upcoming contract negotiations, United Airlines flight attendant union leaders for the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA) this week elected a slate of officers with a reputation as tough and militant negotiators. The 14 AFA-CWA Local Council Presidents who form the Union’s United Master Executive Council (MEC) re-elected Greg [...]
