That paint is kind of hideous.
Maybe its temporary?

This merger will not have an immediate effect on you or your job. The regulatory review process takes quite awhile, and even after the merger occurs (which we expect to be in late 2010), it will take us until the first half of 2012 to operationally merge the two carriers. As always, however, I want to be upfront with you. Mergers do result in some job losses, particularly in non-operational positions. That part is painful, but in the long run, the merger will allow us to grow and prosper as a strong competitor, providing opportunities for advancement and the creation of new jobs. As always, we will do everything we can to mitigate job losses and work with those affected by the merger.

I can not believe this can be good for the CLE hub. It has appeared to be shrinking some what over the years since 911. Its poor location in the lake effect region of Lake Erie plus limited and shorter runways and lack of realestate do not make for a Global Airline hub.I really enjoy travel thru CLE because of limited delays and hate to see it go along the way of PIT or CVG. Moving the hub to PIT would certainly be a plus for the traveling public but I don't see that happening. I welcome other opinions.

We have still have 1800 on the street, so a scope near what CAL has is going to be better for everyone in the industry.

Tightening scope may be the only way to prevent even more furloughs. Its one of the only obvious ways that pilots can make sure that more pilots are needed at mainline. Prater may go on and on about "Taking it back" but I hope you guys actually do.
