As much dislike as we all have for Tilton, if he is able to successfully merge United and Continental, he might have done more good for both airlines than he has done bad over the past several years.


Very possible...good luck for all. CAL board of directors meeting today....see link:

One question ... what did Tilton sell?

They sold bonds with the Pacific route structure and Narita operation as collateral.

These are facts from the earning reports, thats all I'm reporting. Also there are 6 open labor contracts with no agreements in sight. Operating profit with most all employee groups among the lowest paid in the industry. Seems to me those that resort to personal attacks on public forums are the frustrated ones...

just bringing your constant negative posts and balancing them with an optomistic realistic view.... I understand there are those that will negate even the positive...or improving news to "try" to keep a black cloud over everyone. Very sad.

Both pilot groups need to very careful and above all learn from the past. The concern should be yes the ship may be turning but 1 quarter does not mean clear sailing ahead. One would have to factor the the UAL bottom line with the CAL pay scales throughout their franchise not just the pilot groups. That may tell a differing story. All I am saying is tread lightly. I think if run properly it would be a true force to be reckoned with but there will be many managers making lots of money on this deal even before the ink dries.

It is US as long term employees that want a future with as much security as this idiotic industry can provide.

Blue side up and top rudder through the 90!
