If you feel, that UAL will not survive next economical downturn, you should quit now and start working on that "backup plan" ahead of the rest of the sheeps here, so you can take an advantage of all of the opportunities out there. Why suffer? Perhaps start your own airline and show the rest of us how it supposed to be done.

Otherwise, stay strong one union: Beeeee

What Dave is pointing out, which is indisputable, is that our financial and operational performance metrics are significantly lagging that of our competitors. Senior management has admitted this, and all we can hope is that the gaps are soon closed. Will it happen? Maybe, maybe not. We will have to wait and see. If you are comfortable with where we are at right now, then you are a fool.
I've got too many years in to bother moving on. I'm sure you've met some lifer Captain types at Jetlink that feel the same way. By the way, I don't want this company to simply limp along until I am "done" with it only to ultimately fail. I sincerely hope that every half-winger has a more stable and lucrative career than I have had. Our current state of mediocrity puts us all at an elevated risk level.
