What reality do you guys live in?!! The majority of your airplanes are old and decrepit! Ive DH around the system a lot since the merger and have seen many different LUAL fleets. UAL aircraft were a mess before the merger. We've had to spend millions to bring them up to speed. You've got 180 managers to every 1 (obvious exaggeration to make a point) that CAL had!
