I doubt the arbitrators will see things quite as you hope, but ask an AA pilot how that gloating is working for him now...if you don't see the farce / screw job of being told we are cutting so many planes because the 737 is not fuel efficient only to see the routes now being flown with the same model CAL737s..you are deserving of some lessons in Karma, Good luck ect.....
Facts do matter. We are not flying your routes with the same model 737s. We got rid of the 300s years before the merger and now only have a handfull of 500s. Just lke you, when fuel hit $150' we parked birds and furloughed. The difference is, according to the past MEC chair, UA mgt had no replacement aircraft, and hence your continued furlough. No one is gloating and understand that every major has or will hit bottom, but tired of these off the wall theories that are without any factual footing...
