...but you see, its waaaaaaaay easier to say "No jumpseats or mainline jobs for you!" on an internet message board that it is to, you know, unify the pilot group into exerting (legal or illegal) pressure on management to not do something they plan on doing by use of the parking brake.

Besides, perhaps I've missed it on one of the previous 13 pages of this thread, but aren't United & Continental the same company now (albeit still operating separately)? I know CAL pilots don't want anything over 50 seats flying around despite that ship having long since sailed at UAL...but at what point would management shifting UAL 70 seaters into former CAL hubs be "okay" within the merged company?
