You obviously need to be reminded:

- We have 78 wide bodies - you have 22
- We have 132 75/767s - you have 88
- We have 152 Airbuses - you have 238 737s - this pretty much says you are a narrow body airline
- We have 50 787/350s on order with 100 options - you have 25 78s with NO options
- We have longevity and REAL career expectations - you have a happy work force
Sir, please do not think for a moment that just because your workforce is apparently happy we are going to somehow give you the golden goose. FAR FAR from it my ALPA brother.
You will not get relative seniority - you are dreaming my friend!
this from another board...
Hmmm....did we forget:
UAL has 153 CRJ700/EMB170 airplanes - CAL has 0 (ZIP, ZILCH, NADA, SCOPE)
UAL earns revenue by outsourcing flying to a foreign carrier with non-United crews - CAL doesn't (that SCOPE thing again)
I'm sure these tie in with REAL career progressions somewhere, huh?
Give it a rest already. Both sides can point to things they bring to the table. So enough of me vs. you. It's US (UNITED pilots) vs. THEM (management).
