In actuality, I blame that portion of the CAL pilot group with a propensity collusion and capitulation. Once I'm furloughed from UAL in the future, I hope the place burns to the ground; my pride wouldn't allow me to come and go as UAL sees fit.
Fumes this business transaction seems too heavy a burden to carry on your shoulder each day. It appears that when you left USAir for CAL you were promised the universe. Fortunately, much like with USAir you still have choices here. If, as you put it, you've been in the business long enough, then you do realize that it's now your turn to be a part of an airline history. I sure you can recite the names of the airlines (which BTW came before your time) that make up present day Continental. The list is long, and as long as you've been in this business you should be somewhere close to swallowing that. No one here is advocating to taking YOUR job. Maybe that was part of a past culture from whence you came but all the focus and the hoping and praying instead should be that the JCAB puts us back in a position of persuasion with the incoming administration. OMG help us is not part of that equation...
