NEWS: United Pilot's MEC told members today that it had reached an Agreement in Principle with @united management to avoid layoffs ahead of the Oct. 1 expiration of CARES Act funds.
@united A message from union president @insler_todd
"Today, the MEC received a briefing from the Negotiating Committee on an Agreement in Principle (AIP) reached with management...
@united ...that positions United pilots, all of us, to weather and recover from the coronavirus pandemic while keeping our seniority list intact."
"Despite having an agreement in principle, final contract language is not complete. Until approved...releasing details would be premature."
@united "Management continues to say they want to reduce involuntary furloughs so they can excel during a future recovery; now is the time to see if they are willing to pay for that flexibility."
@united Notably (my addition) the AIP hasn't been agreed to by the MEC. It also comes at a time when U.S. airline labor unions are trying to secure an extension of the Payroll Support portion of the CARES Act funds to prevent widespread industry layoffs.
