I went on to say that I realize I may have simply been "unlucky" on a couple of my first trips as I was paired with SCAB captains who clearly did not like the merger as you have so clearly just agreed with in such a nice manner.
So which part of my trivia is not correct? ECON? Minitels? What? Instead of telling me how much you hate UAL why not respond to the individual issues. You know I might have been willing to concede that UAL has it's share of captains that flight plan at the hotel and many new FOs don't know about Greenland Oxygen diversion information. But No. Rather than engage and discuss you're simply gonna tell me I should go back to UAL and leave you alone. Great. Real professional.
I started out with an open mind with this merger, all I've been hearing since is how "we" lcal guys tried to steal your seniority, back door deals with profit sharing, reclassification of jump seat to suit LUal pilots, we are not as professional as LUal guys and the like. Oh yes we are all scab loving drones! ***!
I have flown with LUal guys and even went to training with one and haven't noticed the difference between the two groups. Both have good and bad pilots alike. Overall a good experience for me.
It's just loud mouthed internet warriors such as your self and others here and on other forums that seem to seek divisiveness.
If this is how the majority of LUal guys feel then it's going to be a long career for us all. I'm hoping it's just a few disgruntled people like yourself. Before calling me unprofessional you should look in the mirror my union brother!
