If you really want to talk about the 80's, please call my father. He was a strike til the bitter end Eastern Pilot. If todays pilots had the same intestinal fortitude and principles, the industry would be dramatically different.
What do you think of Continentals impact on the industry during the 80's that reverberated for decades?

I also recall a play on the CAL marketing slogan, "One Airline Can Make a Difference". During the late eighties, the UAL pilot changed it to "One less Airline Can Make a Difference". Now you need Continental to save you guys? Yeah, right!

So, we can sit around and b&tch about it, or do something in an attempt to counter the forces that are reshaping the industry.

On a side note,
Rumor floating around CAL is we might see a mass exodus of scabs to retirements due to the merger. The ones I've spoken with are terrified as to how they will be treated by their UAL breathren.

Put scabs from both airlines on the bottom of the list!
Wouldn't that make a lot of pilots happy?
