Hrmm, seems like that's a BIG piece of CALs contract that would be pretty nice to have a few years ago at UA. I bet the 1400+ pilots on furlough would take CALs scope and their job back in exchange for CALs work rules, but perhaps they didn't like working at UA in the first place?

Work rules don't do anyone good if they don't have a job, do they?

If the UA/US Air Merger had gone through, how would the UA pilots feel then. Would they still be happy?

But none of this really matters since we will be combining and we will take the better of both contracts and then add a significant chunk.
