Perhaps United should look at employee’s “sick rate” during the process of deciding who to lay-off. I’m not sure those pilots who can’t seem to make it to work should be keeping their jobs.
You can’t cut back on labor compensation and expect there to be no reaction by labor. You pay either in resentment, minor disobedience like this, or outright unrest.
Some airlines treat their employees well when things are going well (WN and CO, for example), so when cutbacks must be made, there is a little more of a team/loyalty feeling and less resentment. I’m not surprised that United’s pilots are pushing back.
