No one bought anyone. It was a merger. The "United" name was picked over the CAL name for business reasons. The logo was picked the same way. The HQ location has nothing to do with anything. CAL was not in trouble of going anywhere. I think UAL was doing fine too. We merged. I don't like it. You don't have to like it, but they did it. They will pick certain aircraft to park based on age and expense. They will put certain aircraft to fly certain routes based on making money. It is not "us vs. them" between the pilots, it should be "us vs. them" with the pilots and management. Jeff doesn't care about you. He won't give you one penny unless you (we) fight for it. We are 11,000 strong. It's about time we show them our strength and resolve. I lost my pay, I lost the left seat, I lost the right seat of the widebody. I want something back. I want it all back. Both pilots groups have suffered in the last decade. Let's not get into a "I suffered more than you" argument. Let's get it all back. Let's work together.
