I feel bad for the skywest guys who are planning to go to iah. The xjt pilots are know to be very petty, just ask the chq guys.

Well we all know it will be short lived assuming the CAL/UNITED pilots prove they can win a contract that will eventually eliminate the 70+ seaters...as it should be for the benefit of us all.

Us XJTer's can cope.

what part of the merger requires that the seniority list be merged and what part of the merger requires a new contract for the merger to be complete?

Cannot the new UAL operate as is today? Has any of the UAL or CAL operating certificates been turned in to the FAA? If not , then cannot the new UAL Holding corporation operate both certificates simultaneously as they are now and the CAL flying just transfered over to the other division operated by old UAL where the scope provisions are more lax to CAL's?

Want to bet that this is the plan unless mgt gets what it wants. What would CAL pilots do, go on strike, call in sick, there are what about 1400 UAL pilots furloughed still which would be recalled back with all the new UAL/old and gone CAL flying moved to UAL. That is the real world that ALPA has made for the regional pilots, now it will play out in mainlines. Get the popcorn ready.

Its called arrogance. Thats a pilot thing, not an XJT thing. Its kinda like when we showed up in LAX, enough said.

I think I better get my glasses. I had to read that about three times, at first I thought you said PRETTY :eek:

More like SLC.

A few of them are quite nice looking! The rest are dudes, and every one of them is ugly. :D

I hope this IAH base shenaniganz has a positive impact on the long term big picture for all of us hoping to be at a legacy/major someday and gets the wheels turning on tighter scope for the new UCAL, paving the way for others to follow suit.

Why would that be? Surely CAL pilots realize that no pilot decides where aircraft will be utilized or where bases are opened, so I should hope they take their frustrations out on management, not the SkyWest pilots doing the flying.

But it takes courage and unity to go after management. It's easy to pick on the little commuter pilots. I guess we know what to expect... :rolleyes:

Have fun trying to jumpseat out of IAH Skywest boys

See, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Grow up and take your frustrations out on management, not the pilots who are being forced to do the flying!!!!!

A jumpseat war benefits no one. Don't even make the threat!!!
