While I applaud your mind set in trying to trample the useless others in attempts to re-bid the airline, I will try to get inside the heads of these "union" types that you are jousting with. Let's see.
I imagine the 1998-2001 new hires at United had career expectations of flying for a profitable company with one of the top international route structures in the world and a fleet of large widebody aircraft and a fleet of extensive little single aisle jets too (like 757's, 737's, etc).
I'm sure in their careers from the late 90's to the early 00's, they might have even carried some future wunderkids going on high school and college trips with their parents who would later solo a mighty CE-152 and even be captains at Continental, hired in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, etc.
Career expectations take on different meanings at different times but by all means, keep up the good work because I like the sound of where all of this is going.
