Fasle - False - False...2005 hire here and I was going to retire in the single digits based on Age 60 - even greater age 65...the 'facts' can be easily disputed on the ual side just by actually looking at the pre merger lists
enjoying that meaningful flying how???

The United pilots have confirmed their dismal career expectations. In April 2008, then-United MEC Chairman Steve Wallach complained:
United has its own problems and issues—mostly created by management’s single-minded focus since bankruptcy exit on consolidation as opposed to the basic “blocking and tackling” required to run a successful airline. . . . United should take a page from Continental, and turn its attention inward. United is the only carrier in the industry with no aircraft on order or optioned. That is not a long-term plan for survival.
