I don't know the CAL pilot(s) involved with UPA, but the UAL pilots involved are.....um....interesting.....
If the CAL pilots involved are good guys they have hitched their wagon to the wrong horses.
This new "union" will be a sideshow for a while while they spin their wheels and make lots of noise ---the one thing they are very good at doing--- but once the UCH pilots peek behind the curtain the whole thing will collapse. Pearls anybody?
