Max,
BIG difference between you and me. UAL/CAL is NOT my life. My life doesn't rely on whether the guy next to me likes me and wants to have a beer.

My wife and I live in SoCal. Have a great life. 100% of my pay goes to investments. I don't worship ALPA or UAL, we created a life OUTSIDE the airlines.

I suggest you create a life and income outside this circus. When you grow up and get married, you don't want to rely on this business.

I'm trying to scream at people that they are setting themselves up for a big failure. NEVER make business decisions based on fear or in a hurry. You will ALWAYS lose.

So drink your ALPA kool aide.

Mike
