CAL has never cared about UAL or it's dedicated employees. They wanted our cash and Tilton wanted to screw us by handing is over to a schmuck management team who was sure to rape each and every one of us at UAL.

So they are very willing to give CAL pilots the profit sharing we earned by enduring a horrible bankruptcy but wait, they never had to go through a draconian experience as we have yet they get our compensatory profit sharing??? So CAL is willing to allow their pilots to bid into ORD and DEN and wherever they elect to put the guppy, the very plane UAL parked yet we are going to be forced to commute from our current domiciles to armpits like IAH, EWR or CLE let alone Guam! Do you see the trend? Give CAL pilots what they want and do so by taking from UAL! Let's see how this would work out now. As a Bus guy in ORD who lives in Chicago, I'm forced to either commute to say IAH or bid another seat in ORD, but wait, I can't bid a guppy seat in ORD cause we don't fly them and CAL does. Hmmmm, sounds like leverage for the management, ie scamanagement here at the new UAL, or rather CAL with more UAL cash. Seriously how bad can a management team be? What separates us from SWA is their management. They pull on the same rope and succeed while getting paid more and being treated with honest to goodness respect....what a concept. The new UAL team doesn't give a crap about the employees, especially the legacy UAL ones as is evident by ACTIONS, not words or paint! Really, you can't do it so badly unless you do so on purpose! Each and every time we say "it can't get any worse", it always, without fail, DOES! Think about it, an honest management team with some modicum of integrity would happily consider it's employees plights when making policy and domicile decisions but these boobs refuse to even acknowledge the hardships we will be forced to live under. Now you ask a CAL pilot and you will find them chomping on the bit to transfer to DEN and ORD over our dead bodies! Trust me on this, we are brethren until they get a golden deal at our expense. History has shown this at CAL. They will pick the UAL pilots bones in a heartbeat. They are getting OUR bankruptcy profit sharing, they are getting our domiciles and we get......ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The CAL MEC should have refused anything from these morons unless UAL pilots get the some measure of benefit commensurate to Them but NO, they are probably celebrating a gain. CAL MEC lacks integrity and has proven that all the BS talking points are just that, BS. Actions will ALWAYS speak louder than words, ALWAYS!
