We all want the same result . . . a better life in the future, and without question that is within our grasp if we can get over this incredibly petty fight. I'm a United pilot with a reasonable expectation of making 400 captain for many years, but I will gladly trade a few percent seniority for a winning company of which I can be proud and a future with certainty that was lacking just a few months earlier. No matter how the chips fall you will not be pushed out of your domicile or seat and if we get this right your movement upward and forward can be greatly accelerated by the success of our Mega-carrier status. Aside from groveling on my hands and knees I don't know how to bring the nay-sayers on board other than to ask: What will make your future brightest, fighting til hell freezes over for 5% seniority or finding common ground and facing the corporation with a united front to demand the fair share we all lost in the decades past.

Man up. Get on board. Stop whining and fight for what is rightfully yours, but recognize that "we" (be that UAL or CAL) are NOT the enemy!
