And guys come on here arguing BS, without having the courage to own their baggage. Thinking if they keep arguing it will change reality...
No one at CAL wanted anything to do with this merger! Please research posts from 2010 and see who was for wanting to merge with our culture. You all have an industry wide reputation as conceded jerks. The brain surgeons. Your attitude exemplifies this. I want nothing to do with a culture that could produce such a warped attitude as you have. You really believe you are somehow better than me because you were hired at a different company. Please treat me as a scab and don't talk to me! I want nothing to do with you "people".
You keep asking what I like about the Cal culture? I gave you an answer that there are many things. Mostly the way we all got along and worked together as a pilot group for our common goals. (Minus the scabs). Over the last few years I believe I have learned the best part of it was that it was not UAL's culture and that YOU were not in it.
Our new culture will not be the same as either company had before, deal with it.
