United Airlines Tuesday re-elected Todd Insler as chairman of the United chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association for a term that will include contract negotiations and overseeing the eventual return-to-service of the Boeing 737 MAX. It is the third consecutive term for Insler, a 25-year veteran Boeing 757/767 pilot at United who was elected unanimously. He will retain his seat on the airline's board of directors during the two-year role. The five-year contract for United's 13,000 union pilots became amenable in January, 2019. More than a year of negotiations have slowed over scope clause, which determines how much flying can be outsourced to non-union pilots. The delays have put a spotlight on the challenge ahead with leadership change at the airline, where Scott Kirby is to replace Oscar Munoz as CEO. "We're not in a rush to get the wrong deal. We want the right deal for our pilots," Insler said after the election result. He said the union is already working closely with United, Boeing and the US FAA on safely returning the 737 MAX to the skies following its global grounding in March following two deadly crashes.<br/>
