This was a question on Trivial Pursuit 20 years ago.... "If the 747 is a whale, what's a 737" Answer: guppy
747=whale
737=guppy
Bus=fifi, (talk about a derogatory term...but what a sweet ride)
It's not a derogatory term, chill. The TA is what's insulting.
If you're referring to the JCBA, yes it is/was insulting. With ratification it stopped the continued downsizing of the UAL side and growth on the CAL side. Jeff and JP expected it to fail and played the wrong play in trying to delay the JCBA. The UAL side won in protecting Captain seats that would have devastated some careers.
What improvements over the JCBA do you think we would have achieved by voting it down? Any guess as to the time it would have taken given the Jeff and CAL side had not desire for a contract?
