Given that Glenn Tilton parked 104 UAL Guppies in order to "right-size" the airline for the merger and threw all those guys under the bus, yes.

I doubt that will happen, but this merger has been in the works for years and those lost jobs are a direct result of it. Those guys paid the ultimate price and some form of consideration should be paid to them to reflect that.
I doubt that will happen, again.

And as an aside, the loss of planes caused a huge shift in seat (and pay) loss across the bottom 2/3 of the airline. 737 Captains went back to 77 and 67 F/Os seats...767 F/Os went back to 320 F/Os and so on.

We're angry for good reasons. However, along those lines we're not angry at CAL as some imply. 98 percent of the guys I fly with are mad at UAL management and the way we've been collectively boned since 9/11. They are also realists and understand the positives that this merger COULD bring to us if the company is run correctly. Mr Smisek would do well to realize that that we're not willing to forget the past and just go with the flow now that we are (soon) one carrier. The vast majority of us are not going to accept anything less than an industry leading JCBA.

The JSLI is the next step.
