So painting everyone in that group with a broad stroke is a little bothersome. I plan on having a long career at the combined United; I want to come to work do the job, and enjoy the comradery of the pilots I fly with. I've read a majority of your posts, and they all tend to come from a level headed point of view so I don't want you to think I'm angry or upset by this one. After all the blustery posts on APC and Calforums I can see how everyone's blood pressure is a little high on both sides of the airline.
Hopefully after the arbitrators decide what the list looks like we are both equally disapointed enough to grab a beer and politely complain about the outcome.

Upon further reflection I should have worded my words more carefully and not group all pilots in the 2005-2008 range....point taken.
Would be happy to have a beer with you anytime!
Fly safe...
