I've flown with many captains who admit they pay to have it pulled on certain overnights.

I think it's time we push all the BS to the side and stand up as one large pilot group by beginning to unify before the merger even gets announced. When this merger does go through, UAL and CAL pilots together will have huge leverage over the company as long as we can act as one group and not pi$$ on everyone while only thinking of #1. This is a critical point in our profession and we can either take advantage of it our let our CEO's keep slapping us in the face. I'd rather use it to our advantage and get our profession back on track from the detour it took over the course of the last contracts. The FUPM Store
If you don't have one yet UAL or CAL go here and buy some. It might sound like a waste of money but $1 can really go a long way when everyone wears it to show management we all are fed up.

Look to DAL/NWA as a model. We were the only group to make gains in the face of the downturn and high oil. Had we been able to agree before hand we could have realized even more gains.

Southwest, Alaska, and Jetblue were able to get better contracts I think. A little fuzzy on those details but I did see rising numbers.

I should have said first. I think we were the first. And we were the only Legacy/Major Flag carrier to do so.

Any chance we can keep our uniforms?

The blue with silver sleeved piping just doesn't sit well with me.
