Here is a paragraph from UAL's press release:
"UAL said it will lower its planned 2008 spending by $400 million and eliminate 500 salaried and management jobs and 600 union jobs by the end of the year. UAL also said it will cut capacity 9 percent by the fourth quarter, on top of a 5 percent reduction in the fourth quarter of 2007, and take 10 to 15 more narrow-body aircraft out of its operating fleet for a total of 30 to be grounded."
Can you let me know where F/A furloughs are mentioned, or where you received your information? The defined furlough plan in UA's contract, is it similar to offering leaves like we at DL do? Even with AFA and date-of-hire, do you realize how many current DL F/A's will be at the bottom of the list and subject to furlough? Our DL F/A's will take a big hit with date of hire.
On another note, I am curious about how the UA F/A's felt about date-of-hire back in 2000-2001 when the UA-US merger was proposed. I was under the assumption (assumption only) that UA F/A's were not real happy with date-of-hire. UA F/A's your thoughts/opinions on this would be greatly appreciated.
