Continental and United pilots face negotiations hitch, airlines lose NMB fight
Continental Airlines’ Chair of the pilot Master Executive Council Jay Pierce expressed surprise that the negotiations with his pilot’s counterparts at United has reached an impasse so early in the negotiations. The roadblock threatens to derail the two unions reaching an agreement by year end. His counterpart, United Captain Wendy Morse agreed, with both seeming to blame it on management but not really explaining what exactly the problem is.
