i believe it is fake.

 

FAKE ????? There is a link to it on their website page.

Actually there was a similar statement by CAL put out the press just a week or two ago.

 

It's not fake. We had to tell our customers something. It is mostly directed at them, though we receive nearly identical information from the company as employees. I wouldn't bother to check the site often, you'll hear news through the AP or USA Today before it makes its way on there.

 

 

very funny. -skidmark- knows all about the "power pellets".

 

Life, I hope that you guys are the acquiring airline. That'd make it almost certain that your management would only take a few of UAL's managers.

 

Oh now that is uncalled for Whacka whacka whacka.

Just out of curiosity, the rumor mill is pretty dry here at UAL. Are there any CAL leaks of info? I am afraid we will do the death spiral with the USAPAites.

If it is to be a UAL/CAL scenario I certainly hope we can move about the integration in a much more civilized manner than U/HP and DL/NW have so far. Keeping my fingers crossed that a fair and equitable agreement can be arranged and the pilots are able to recognize fair and equitable and not use methods such as USAPA to divide the group.

Good luck to everyone, merger or no merger. Also, can we please get the CAL management and a combo of the contracts? I understand CAL has some DH to Europe for the bunkies as DH is only paid at half. We have some decent benefits remaining, I am sure you guys have many also. If we could combine the best parts of both then perhaps we might have a contract worth working for.

 

True statement as of 2 years back. No longer is true.

We are back up to 100% pay for the deadhead within this past year. If you DH over to Europe on the B757, you get paid what is called blended rate.....a pay rate between NB and WB pay. So if the FO and the DHing IRO are on the same payscale (ie same year of pay), the IRO that is DHing will actually make more than the FO on the B757 trip. So it's a good deal as far as the as the pay goes.

Hope that helps.
