It was exclusively a club for fighters, white jets, and minorities. I swear to God, all the UAL pilots I knew were WAY too cool to be associating with other pilots who didn't fly for United. But I don't want to bash those guys now. They've eaten a gigantic piece of humble pie since then, which has straightened out any arrogance they had before.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I never understood that mentality. I knew IPs at Luke who were screaming to everyone how they were getting out and going to UAL. I watched as the furlough came and the concessions started.. poor bastards.
