Oh and anyone that goes by "jet driver" needs to also take a close look in the mirror. Pretty much everybody in this industry is a "jet driver". Good grief.
Do you still get x-rayed to see if you stole anything on your way OUT of work? Gotta love the trust at BROWN.

In other news, SAAB, you're better than that and I know it, keep it clean.

If UAL is unable to recruit talent from the real world, then they may adopt the European airlines' way of hiring (ala BA, Lufthansa, KLM, to name a few)... ie... going to flying acadamies, univeristies, and colleges and start from there... again another version of the pay to play program.

UAL is a bit better than others IMO. We still get fed unlike DL, No DH to Europe to fly back like the IRO's at CO only to be paid half DH, we still have one of the largest widebody fleets in the world and are flying 30+ 747's and 40+ 777's.
If you wanted to fly an RJ all your life then stay where you are. If not then apply and take your chances. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Tilton is the current UAL A-hole. Every airline has one and he is ours. It is no different than most places and I would have to say better than some.
Our MEC wound up out of synch with the pilot group. It has a big platter of eggontheface and is trying to stir the pot to regain some traction. UAALPA is/was under attack from another union that is trying to gain the services of the UAL pilots. There is alot of money at stake for the ALPAites and they are going to protect their turf. The best way to do that is drum up the troops into a hate fest at something other than ALPA.
The contract the MEC wants to change is the same contract we have been working under and voted FOR that expires in '09. It is the same contract that was unanimously endorsed by the MEC. They NOW want to force a change with no leverage. The MEC sent the pilot group a TA a few month ago that was overwhelmingly turned down. It was concessionary in many items and the pilots just said no. There is a tremendous amount of angst amongst the pilot group about the current ALPA leadership.
