Coto, save your breath, we are the red-headed step-children of UAL. No one wants to claim us, help us, or feel sorry for us. The guys that have managed to keep their jobs and benefits have no idea what our lives and careers have been like. Why should we be thrown a bone just one time? It ain't gonna happen. Never has, never will.
I guess it is human nature for everyone to want the best for themselves, to hell with everyone else. If you are or were furloughed, you are nothing. It doesn't matter the dues you paid , what you've been through. Your timing was off, you chose poorly, etc.. 1999 hires at UAL have dealt with more than ANYONE on the property. I am in on this with you and will fight for anything we can get. I am tired of being stepped on.
