Welcome to United. You are now on our seniority list, which you weren't previously.
A very simplistic view, but if helps your comprehension go with it.
In reality both stocks UAUA, and CAL were exchanged with shareholders getting different ratios. A whole new holding company was formed, called UnitedContinental holdings.
Your list???....not anymore....ITS OUR list. ONE. Move over roomie. By the way....I think the ISL went pretty good.... as I expected. Merged in with guys hired years before and much older.
Honestly, I could care less what it's called, or who is running it as long as the checks keep coming.
Time to move on. When do we start negotiations on the next contract?
