"UCON" Air Lines !!! Best of luck to both sides as the merger moves forward. UAL will be flying "Yuppy Guppies" again !!
And remember, if half the pilots on both sides of the merger are pi$$ed,...then its a fair merger.

Back on topic....
With no route overlap, the industry will not be able to compete. It will once again remind me of when I got hired at United in 1999 with Captain bids going to guys with 3 years on property

You might want to check your wide body numbers. The two airlines combined don't have 150 wide bodies on the property.

At least Jeff Smisek will be calling the shots and not Tilton. There might be some light at the end of the tunnel. Best of luck to all my good friends at CAL, and all the good folks at UA, interesting times ahead.

You all realize approx 1500 pilots retire at the combined airline in the next 5 years, it will take 2-3 to put a combined list together and start flying together best case. I will not be surprised to see hiring well before 5 years.

Five A-319's a day is penty frequent enough...

Your correct, there are 149 combined not counting either airlines widebody orders/options. Still a lot of big airplanes.

IMHO I think MEC's will get a no furlough agreement short term and retirements will take care of that possibility in long term.
