As far as my assertion that this thing was in the works, well its pretty obvious wasn't it? There was a recent document floated which pretty much proves it. If I can find it, I'll toss it up here. It won't matter however.
Do I think that our guys on the street will get hosed? Yes. Do I think they should? No. That's all I'm saying.
If I were at CAL, I would be taking your side of this argument, and if you were at UAL you'd be taking mine. This ****ing contest will get us exactly nowhere. You asked for an opinion and got one you didn't like. What do you expect a UAL guy to say? "Sure, hose em again!"
As I said, our opinions are farts into the wind anyway.
I'm curious about this, and maybe you - or anyone else on here - know the answer. I will be the first to admit my knowledge on airline history is marginal at best...
Has there ever been a merger in the past since ALPA has been around where furloughed pilots went ahead of active pilots at the other company? I really have no clue and maybe someone on here has some insight...
