Not being flippant here, but it's not obvious to me. I would never dream of making the distinction between the two in my announcement. This is a micro example of a macro problem in my estimation. JP beats the Unity drum, but then does NOTHING to promote unity.

Look, I detest this merger. (Not piling on you directly here, by the way, just ranting away) The ONLY thing about it that I like is the new soap. I'm not kidding, your soap kicks butt! I have no interest in flying to CLE, EWR, IAH or GUA. I can't stand the guppy and its tight cockpit and 1 jumpseat. I hate more narrowbodys vs. widebodys. My seniority will almost surely be diluted. I thought we would get a management team that wanted to run and grow an airline, but your management is just like our management was. None of this is an "ours is better than yours" rant. For some people, there are some GREAT gets in this merger. Our guys that live in CLE, EWR, and IAH have to be STOKED! Some folks LOVE the guppy, etc. etc. It just doesn't have any benefit for me personally. But here is the thing, it happened. Nothing I can do about it, so the chips are going to fall where they may. I'm not going to keep on saying that I'm proudly flying a L-UAL aircraft, and I'm not going to go back and hash out who's SCABS are worse. I want a damned contract and I want it NOW. The rest is all chaff and fluff.
