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".
We heavily control our culture.. we aren't management's scab friendly wage slaves.
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.
No, you got along with the scabs. Don't pretend you didn't... you guys wreck jets, you think you are managements partner. Your Contract 02 is an embarrassment. Your flight ops support for the pilots is a joke... you've known no different so you think it is normal... Now that your 'culture' has been exposed you are defending kissing your sister. We don't do that.
Our new culture will not be the same as either company had before, deal with it.
The new pilot culture will be defined by the United pilots. You are one. You can be a part of it, or you can pout like a little child that you didn't want this merger, blah blah blah...
We've already cleaned out the scabs from the committee structure. Something you didn't have the courage or capability to do....
We intend to make this the best pilot group to belong to. Better than the Deltoids and AMR boys.....
We will define, control and protect the profession. We will lead the charge and if you want to cower in the foxhole counting your 'overs', your choice.
As professionals we put the country and the traveling public first, even if means we miss our commute home. We will expect our govt to protect American jobs, American soil and airways. We bring the greatest aviation safety influence to the table and we will continue to do so....
With the lost decade over, the merger behind us and scabs falling off the seniority list... and the industry... ready to move capital (and our jobs) globally, the time is now to grab the same rope and pull. If you want to pout that you didn't want this merger, live in the past chasing dollar bills, that your choice.... sounds like JB is the pilot group for you.
Wear your pin and join the profession.
