Good post, I agree! In my former life I was LCAL. Today I'm proud to be a United pilot! We need to stop looking back and move forward as one unified pilot group.

Excuse the thread drift. Does anyone have the big picture as to how the AA - USAirways SLI went down? You don't hear much about it, and frankly given the history at USAirways - AWA you'd think this SLI would be version 2 of the previous SLI madness, but it seems very quiet post SLI over there.

Well done, Sir!

As to AA:

Not sure about the big picture, but I heard the L-AA guys were referring to themselves as "Native Americans," which---SLI Arguments aside----is pretty damn funny!

Also standard disclosure so the banks get the risk and business conditions to a level that they find acceptable when it is time to sign on the dotted line. Thus the merger.

I said nothing when this guy showed up with his ex-con bag tag. I ignored it. He launched into the SLI, unsolicited. "I got totally screwed, and UAL was going CH11" is what he spewed. He will never see it any other way. Fine. Keep it out of the cockpit then.

I couldn’t agree more....the whole bag tag, legacy wings, blah blah blah just make people look even dumber than they already are. Some of the guys, from both sides, are going to beat their heads against a wall until they retire. Life’s too short, move on.

There are LCAL guys with similar experiences with disgruntled LUAL, but chose not to post them here just to make the other side look bad. Next time you run into a 5 percenter, don't bother posting it here as it does nothing but rattle the bee hive...we are trying to move on.

Right. I'll just talk about honeymoons, roses and lollipops next time.

Screw you with your honeymoons, roses, and lollipops! Everybody knows it is rainbows and unicorns that really count.

Or the guys running around with their orange tulip bag tags. And yet I don’t say a word...actually could not care less. It cuts both ways. Everyone needs to let go and move on with their life.

If you could not care less, why waste the time posting on APC? I openly admit it ****es me off. I just usually say "Where can I get one of those orange tags? They look cool."

Well, the orange tags don't break when you touch them. The yellow ones break off with the slightest bump. My orange tags are still there largely because I don't have anything to replace it with.

And....now the real excuse, because I'm too lazy to do anything about it. Don't read too much into it, I'm just lazy....
