I understand.

Here's my big take-away.

If you are Legacy UAL, great. Put your wings in the desk drawer or make a cool shadow box and long for the glory days.

If you are a legacy CAL pilot, fantastic. Put your wings on the shelf, or frame them and make a cool momento box.

Same goes for Eastern and Pan Am. We have a few of them here as well. All that I have met from those two legacies are super to fly with. Very enjoyable and offer a great perspective.

We will know that our merger is complete when two things happen: 1. We no longer work for CAL UAL Holdings, and 2. We wear our uniform proudly and no longer refer to legacy this, or legacy that.

When the two things above happen, I think it's advantage pilot group. It's hard for management to push around a unified pilot group.
