If that's not a windfall, I don't know what is. The SLI was clearly a massive windfall for the LUAL pilots. Quit acting stupid and move on.
"Barely hanging on before the merger." "Barely hold RSV on your smallest plane." Again Mitch, since UAL had pulled ahead of CAL in operational and financial performance in the period leading up to the merger, I guess you could characterize the junior CAL pilots as having slid off the rock if you say that ours were "BARELY" holding on.
I hope you aren't a former RJ pilot that got your job as mainline pilots were being shown the door. I don't fault those that did and harbor no ill will towards them at all. That's life. But for those that later went to CAL turning around and having the nerve to complain about a furloughed (and most likely much older pilot) getting some credit for his years of service is disgusting. It is the thing I wonder about each time I see a young slick tie go walking by. Hopefully that doesn't describe you.
