Btw- Jeff has to sell the line that Cal would go out of business because he testified to the fact in front of The Government in order to get approval for the merger.
Regardless, water under the bridge. The truth is that both airlines would have been marginalized without merging with another carrier. At the end of the day, both the lcal and lual pilots are better off because of this merger.
When your labor groups have the cheapest contract in the industry, your work rules are non existent and your pilot union is run by a bunch of scab pandering management yes men. It is pretty easy to appear that you are running a tight ship.
So for you it's all water under the bridge but it's "hilarious" because you think you came from the cool kid clan? Strange, you weren't a middle child in constant need of attention by any chance were you?
