None of us thought that. We all felt the new union would be LUA led with a good mix from both sides. And most of us didn't upgrade to Captain because we wanted to see what the SLI would have in store for us, hence the really junior seniority Captains. Absent a pending SLI, I know a bunch of guys that would have upgraded that didn't. They basically told me they didn't want to be on reserve forever if it went UAL's way, which it did.
