Honestly Chip, I hope that UA ALPA obtained an 1113 letter, as they're going to need it with that $2.2B figure.
I have consistently heard that UA ALPA was the principal cause behind the inability of the coalition to develop a meaningful concessionary framework. The ERP that UA ALPA has agreed to is proof positive that United's pilots are unwilling to shoulder their fair share of the pain.
IMHO, the IAM would be justified in terminating any concessionary discussions with management and taking its chances in Bankruptcy Court.
