I can tell you one thing, and I hope I speak for most of my double-furloughed brethren, if we, the 2172/1450 ever get together in the same cause, we will be galvanized. After all that we have been through I feel about as close to any of these individuals as I would a squadron buddy in any deployment. It is an unwanted status, but one which when you meet another, you can't help but drink heavily, vent and feel better after spending time around somebody else who truly understands what kind of career "hell" we have/are going through. I don't think any of us will ever forget all that has happened.

Between the two furloughs, I'm over 6 1/2 years furloughed since being hired June 2000.
On the trust issue, I rank ordered my trust prior to the merger:
1 CAL MEC
2 CAL management
3 UAL management
4 UAL MEC
I doubt that I'm alone in that assessment.
Just don't ask me about
:
Increasing every pilot's hours to offset paycuts in C2003 (added a couple of years to my first furlough)
Unlimited RJs; Whiteford had approval from the rest of UAL's MEC.
