The best part is that if I get merged in with 1995 UAL people it will be like being hired at UAL when I was a senior in high school!! I could not be senior to myself if I tried!!
In the meantime I will just fly around left seat in the 737 and enjoy it.
Seems you forget...ual bought cal, with cash...short-term memory issue it appears.
And from what I've seen, first hand mind you for 16 months in the right seat of a GUPPY...Ual guys would MUCH rather not be integrating with your hodgepodge group of airline misfits. 5 airlines, 3 fighters, and experience with the pilot training system of the worlds largest defense acquisition program; I can assure this is the case.
I've NEVER flown with a more unprofessional, less standardized, and inexplicably weak pilot group in 20 years of professional aviation. Maybe this is only an issue with the GUPPY fleet, but its still an issue no less..
Just my 2 cents, but gee...what the hell do I know.
