Because of the 3 year delay in the JCBA, the l-Cal side has had a huge advantage, and has bid on all of UCH flying, while the l-UAL side has not. Had the JCBA been done in a timely manner, none of this would have happened. I think the l-Cal side will feel slighted because they had inflated career expectations because of this. JP may have given them a short term advantage, but I think his legacy will be long term bad karma for the combined group.
IMHO
At what time do you believe the flying belonged to you that the CAL side was doing? Just curious? At the time of the "merger?" didn't UCH operate two airlines? How long do you consider timely? Sorry probe there was long time bad karma between the two companies waaaay before any merger was being announced...
