UA ALPA Pilots Request Release To Cooling Off Period!

On April 16th, 2012, ALPA MEC Chairman Captain Jay Heppner opened the week-long MEC Meeting in Chicago. For nearly 24 months there has been little progress on the core issues related to the off shoring and outsourcing of UA pilots jobs. United Airlines alone has 1,437 pilots who were laid off because of 9/11 and merger schemes, and they continue to be grounded.

United Airline Pilots plan to formally execute a release from their Section 6 negotiations under the Railway Labor Act (RLA) on April 30 if United management does not commit to completing these negotiations by June 1.
