Less than .05% of UAL pilots post here. Please excuse the notables in this thread. The vast majority are on our own FB group arguing about expensing layover meals if the turbulence and flight time precludes crew meal consumption….I’m on record as stating a JB merger is very much on the table and would benefit UAL (yes- the pilots as well) with JFK/BOS and MCO/FLL. I fly 777s mostly out West so while it might not benefit me personally, it is a very nice compliment to our route structure. I think we will go through the normal SLI arguments and ultimately live with the arbitrator’s award. Life will go on and we will have an airline we can all be proud of.

this is why I personally don’t want one, I’m trying to make up lost time for being a lost decade FO at XJT then coming to United after 11.5 years at NK but all that being said, I #1 have zero control over it, and #2 At the end of the day I’m not sure it would really matter all that much considering the shuffling around with base bids and the size of JB Pilot group mixed in with United. In the words of Joe Dirt, just gotta keep on keepin on….

A lot of us are making up for lost time, because for a lot of us, it was a lost decade AND A HALF.
