That IS hilarious!! (One of my favorite movies) Monkeyfly already asked "Who's 'The Good,'"; I want to know if Tilton is Tuco? And who is Van Cleef?

Next: Livery.

I didn't think CAL paint with UNITED written on it would look bad until I saw the cheap photoshop from marketing.

Anyone else vote for Capt Bligh's merged-logo in his icon? I like it!

There are bigger fish to fry other than worry about the lame/new logo......since you brought it up, let's talk about it.

WOW!! Looks like Jeff's "4th level" secretary drew that up using break room paper-towel while on lunch break this past Friday.

Maybe keeping with the mantra "CUT COSTs", they figure all the have to do is slap a little "white" base paint over the Continental and add United to only "Half" of the fleet, as opposed to come up with a classy/new paint job and redo the ENTIRE FLEET .......Getting this one off on the 'right foot'

+1 on Blighs Avitar.....However, possibly Jeff can pay him a "royalty" and he can be out the door a bit earlier than planned???

Dude, listen:

When airlines come together, employees get SCREWED.

That is spelled "S C R E W E D". That means some group of people has their way of life DESTROYED. Suddenly, a group of guys who are junior but getting good lines where they could enjoy their children get put on reserve, and have to spend 50% more time in a crash pad away from their kids. That is...if they wind up having a job at all!

THAT is a BIG DAMN DEAL!

Sorry folks, I can see NO WAY that this deal will be good for us. United has terrible customer service, and probably the WORST management in US airline history! And now they are going to take over the well-managed Continental Airlines?

Might as well bring back Frank Lorenzo~ He probably couldn't destroy Continental as quickly as the morons that run United!

Not sure if you've been paying attention? Tilton will not be running the new UAL. (not that the majority at CAL think much of Smisek)

Google "non-executive chairman" and see what you find. (hint; its a part-time, non-operational position)

As far as the rest of the management team, ALPA has been told they will have input in to the "best in breed concept" that will be used to select the management team. (take that for whatever its worth?)

As far as the deal being good for us? Its a gamble, and it will take a lot to pull it off. Hard to see through the fog to know what will happen.
