The TTA was written open ended, with language in case merger approval was delayed and there really were two companies. We are way past that point now.

So for now, UAL guys will be "recalled", just to the CAL side instead of the UAL side. This has ZERO effect on SLI, it just gives an unemployed dude a job once more.

I'm just hoping we can get a really good JCBA and move on, good bad and ugly. I have a lot of friends on the CAL side and sincerely look forward to working together someday.
