What's the "Latest and Greatest" at UAL/CAL?

You can always count on at least 1 negative attitude...don't be so confident of your outlook.

I'll do what I can to help this one get going....
I would not want to be the arbiter with that SLI in my hands. That one is going to be difficult with all the guys on the street.
As far as the airline itself, definitely a monster in the making if it's run well.

Rocky,
Don't forget about the laundry debate. But I will admit, I was all over the NRT issue only to find out the problem was in AMS. I need to get out more.
Good luck UAL/CAL.......a merger is like a prostate exam, but it'll be over soon
Ferd <------now has the tshirt

How involved will Tilton be post-merger? In this article it says he will be a
non-executive CEO for two years, and Smisek will be the CEO. How active is a non-executive CEO?
United, Continental could announce merger on Monday - USATODAY.com

Thats exactly what I was thinking. My original post was completely sarcastic and some typical pilot wants to correct the error in the joke. Is somebody else going to correct my Mars sub orbit comment as well?
Of course, the huge UAL widebody presence is all fact.
No flame Otto, normally you are pretty level headed.
Plus, lets get back on topic discussing "the latest and greatest" for the new UAL.
Carpe Diem

My .02, make sure your unions spend some time, actually a great deal of time ironing out a better contract. Demand that your MECs work together and explain to the company that the only way you'll sign off on a JCBA is with circa 2000 compensation and work rules. Oh, and no 70-seat RJs. If not, make sure the MEC convinces Tilton that it'll never be one airline any other way. This is where the DAL NWA merger was a total failure to the profession and how we ended up with 255 70 seat jets and 100 something 76 dual-class RJs. Sadly, but we owe most of our success to the US Air pilots for towing the line and tossing the BS flag. Their loss was our gain. Learn from both of us and 2010 going forward will be pivotal. Even APA may end up with a contract by 2020.

The larger the airline, the greater the opportunity to park RJ's, especially 50-seaters. When two airlines serve the same city with a dozen RJ's combined, you create an opportunity to maintain excellent schedules/frequencies, and more efficient aircraft. Five A-319's a day is penty frequent enough...
