Kinda like showing up at the 2nd inning of a Playoff game and after watching 5 mins of the game, declaring a winner and champion.
Funny.
After reading 8 days worth of Transcripts, and many of the exhibits, this thing still has a ways to go, I am comfortable with those representing my concerns and goals.

Hey, I resemble that comment
Seriously though, I appreciate your being here, but obviously I disagree, and all I can say is we will see in September. I think you are overlooking the most obvious fact in the argument, and that is the mega-carrier argument. I do not believe the board will disagree with the analysis that CAL had no future as a stand alone carrier, and therefore the corollary is that the advancement of which CAL is so enamored is a direct result of the merger and the resulting list falls to UAL advantage in every category.
What does that mean . . . stovepiped Category and Class sorted by longevity, and what does THAT mean? Do you lose your job? Do some pilots sit reserve for a couple years? Do you make it to WB captain in 2020 or 2015?
It's not about anyone losing their job. It's about how soon they get to the "primo" position, and who get's there first.
We are all going to benefit from industry rationalization and stand to benefit from a decade at least of growth and retirements. Hopefully we can agree that 2015 will be a better place than where we are today.
