Believe me, I know ALL of us would love to see anything that makes our job easier and better. I REALLY, REALLY wish that we start seeing some of them.

Always remember that we just lived through the MOST successful, LARGEST airline merger EVER. Sure don't see (ever hopeful) much to see in the new UAL to mirror what we accomplished due to the great people at both airlines that merged.

Tip of a hat to us!
I know you're probably right on this man, but our upper corporate management has done some pretty cool things very, very rapidly. So at least some of our managers have gotten their feet free of the molasses.
