Then Express wanted Ual pilots to bail them out using their own capital. Hey Chief, i must tell you, it's very simple. Pilot A, B, and C walk to the cockpit, and the "C"aptain determines who goes. But, the Express captain's didn't have the cajones to exercise their "c'aptains authority. I will never say vacuum tubes are perfect.
Say what you want, but you referred to "United Express routes", which is utter rubbish. Secondly, I had a fistful of those letters from the Express Js coordinators, and they were meant as a political tool.
Oh brother, where to start? Did UAL not have one of the UAX carriers offer up to pay for the fix to the UAL system? Was that not the reasoning behind the issue was that it will cost money, and the company (UAL) didn't want to pay for it. Is that true, or is it not?
When you say a "fist full of letters", are those the letters sent to the JS chair from the UAX JS chairs referring to the issues that they were having? As well as wondering why a UAL pilot was being processed ABOVE a UAX pilot on THAT UAX pilot's own company?

Never disagreed with that, but I'll ask again, do you have ALL the facts behind that specific issue?

United, Continental, Delta, American, Usair own the routes! The jumpseat is not a weapon. it is a privilege, "and" a right. U get it?! Don't be a shi$ and you can ride it.
Not sure what you're getting at here, are you calling names?
