The pilots of United Airlines are preparing their rank and file for the possibility of a strike vote. United merged with Continental Airlines two years ago. At that time the new company management of United Airlines, assured the pilots a quick contract.
United pilots are in mediated talks with the "help and chaperoning" provided by the NMB (National Mediation Board). So far the NMB has helped the management of several airlines stall contract negotiations with their pilots. Included in this quagmire are US Airways, United and American, prior to their Bankruptcy filing.
