Wouldn't it be better to bring them over to Cal? Maybe it's not be a malicious as we think.
Disclaimer: our mgmt is horrible and are haters of labor, especially pilots.
If you can show me where those 739s will be coming to the UAL side of the house, I would appreciate it. OH, I know what they SAID. The 739s will replace l-UAL 757s. Got it. And they may have even SAID that we would be flying them here at l-UAL. But until I am on IOE, I won't believe an f'n word. Why should I?
