The same here, but for different reasons. I don't approve of the public comments of one lec against another. But I don't care that he mentions the positives of cal in the integration. Do you all really think it's not being hammered out just like that in negotiations? What is wrong saying that cal has the massive presence in the world's largest population center? I'm sorry he didn't recognize uals hold on Denver as was posted earliar. I haven't posted much so the kumbaya can chant on, but this is a business. We have a ton of ****ed off pilots and I have no problem with a guy from jersey rallying the troops like union guys from jersey do. I'm sorry you guys don't like it, but until we have a sLi and jcba then I am still in one part of this group of cal guys. And I want my guys busting ass to get me the best deal possible. And just as many ual guys on this forum have opinions that sound ridiculous to cal guys. For instance referencing how good you and your contract was a decade ago and the implications of that or ratio of widebodies now that you guys lost scope. We laugh about that but ual guys get fired up. "don't say we have old airplanes, don't say we have miserable morale and customer service...". I'm getting a little fed up with the group hug stuff. I hold zero animosity towards any ual guy and I agree we must fight together force jcba. But the comments about our scabs when y'all have plenty also is just naive. If you want to talk about a napoleon complex, take a look at how every positive post about cal is taken as some sort of implied bash of ual. We are independent contractors til we are operationally merged. If you all are so worried about our group fighting tooth and nail for every seniority spot, then you better call your negotiators and tell them to step up their aggressiveness because I guarantee our guys are fighting like hell. And if I was on your side, I'd be upset if my group wasn't fighting that way. I'm not going to be flamed for not patting everyone on the ass here or not promoting unity. We are the ones that have to go to work and say calxxx in united livery, take pictures in front of our airplanes before they say united on them,have to tell people it's ok when they say sorry to hear about the end of continental, or hear jokes about how the service will deteriorate to a ual level now. Those are facts. That is the report from the line. I will be a united pilot when I have a number on the list, a jcba and a united callsign. Until then I want my guys fighting for me. Just as i assume you want. And I don't apologize for saying us, our, united or cal. That is needed for clarity. Let's all keep the napoleon complexes in check on both sides. Cal was in great shape with a great fleet and healthy, growing and advancing it's employees. There is nothing to apologize for there and that doesn't make this a post of ours is bigger. You all have plenty to be proud of too. But right now we each have negotiators busting their butts for our individual butts. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Time to be big boys and not be so sensitive. Oh yeah, kumbaya. Let's see how much kumbaya there is if the list doesn't go the way y'all want. We all are fighting for what we feel is right. Or at least supporting those who are fighting for us. . Be proud of your side and fight like hell for your seniority number. Cheers.
