United pilots to vote

Pilots at United Airlines will vote on an agreement augmentatioan in January that does not have any dedication for a 100-seat flying machine request from the transporter.

The Chicago-based aircraft put the likelihood of a little narrowbody request on the table in talks prior this year, affirms Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) United expert official chamber seat commander Jay Heppner in a video posted on Facebook.


Be that as it may, the potential request was wiped out from the assention because of "much superfluous shock about associated scope alleviation and the dangling with gleaming planes to allure United pilots into an arrangement", he says.

"I trust it is essential that we physically have 100-seat flying machine on the United property, flown by United pilots on the United position list so we never need to arrange that procurement again," says Heppner.

The two-year augmentation to 31 January 2019 incorporates pay rates for the Bombardier CS100 and CS300 and the Embraer 190 and 195.

United is the main US mainline transporter without an around 100-seat air ship in its armada. American Airlines has 20 E190s and Delta Air Lines has bought 91 Boeing 717-200s and 20 E190s.

"There is a characteristic requirement for a little mainline narrowbody," said Gerry Laderman, United's acting CFO, in November.

He told investigators before in December that the carrier would require an armada of 25 to 50 100-seat air ship with the end goal it should "bode well given the included intricacy connected with preparing, saves provisioning and support".

United workers visited the CS100 when it went to Chicago O'Hare International airplane terminal in November, the aircraft affirms.

Bombardier additionally flew the flying machine to Atlanta prior this month where Delta representatives and administrators saw it.

The agreement expansion incorporates 22.3% boosts in salary by January 2018 from 2015 rates, an estimation of about $1.1 billion to pilots, and other work principle changes, says ALPA. On the off chance that confirmed, it would get to be amendable on 31 January 2019.

Pilots will vote on the conditional accord from 6 January 2016 through 22 January 2016, the union says.
