I am not going to get into that urinating contest....

So, they decided to spread the pain with taking and giving between both entities so that we ALL had to change our way of doing business by learning new procedures or SOP's. I am not talking just the piloten....

We have a multitude of jobs that have changed not from the UAL or CAL way, but to some b******* procedures in between. Again, I am not just talking of the piloten, talk to your coworkers, listen to the hell they are going through. Not specific to either legacy either.

Our geniuses have allowed change just for the sake of change. Some of this change is to a worse way of doing things than either legacy had pre merger.

Delta made 1.4 B because they saw the value of having employee contracts in place at the outset of their merger and they knew better than to try to change and get rid of the processes of BOTH carriers that were established and improved upon over the decades.

Yes, they changed some things at Delta but the the airline is DELTA.

We are United/Continental holdings. What the hell is that?

Our CASM and revenue problems lie squarely at the heels of those in management who thought they were rocket scientists.

Well, the financial condition of UCH proves otherwise.

This merger was **** up from the out set when they didn't decide to go with one carriers procedures of the others with minor changes.

Anyway, that's my rant after a four day...
