Hopefully, they are limited to online forums and not the predominant belief at LUAL.
This "dying airline" brings 76 jets to the top payscale v CAL's 44 jets(even with the pay banding scheme insisted on by your MEC), and 35 jets v 26 jets to the next highest payscale. We'll have to wait and see how the SLI turns out. Will CAL pilots be able to bid on the 50 firm widebody jets ordered by rUAL before the merger? (25 787s, 25 A350s) answer....YES. So you'll have to excuse us if we are anxious to bid onto the CAL ordered 737s that are now flying out of our home domiciles.
