This is a problem. CAL and UAL pilots should hope that we don't come to United. I'd much rather work at "CAL-the world's Biggest Airline", than "United-the World's Biggest Airline". If we are "coming to United", we are in deep doo-doo. You gotta know that.
I am perfectly willing and looking forward to working with the UAL guys. Hopefully, we get to arbitration as soon as possible, get the SLI done, and take our place as the world's dominant carrier. The pride and self-esteem that you bring to the party is gonna be a breath of fresh air to a lot of guys at CAL, but don't try to Jedi-mind trick an arbitrator into thinking that our career expectations are remotely close. Know-thyself or thyself might just end up getting bought by USAir, as was the case just 2 weeks ago.
