Then there's the omnipresent rumor about a UAL-JB merger that's been circulating for years.
Hey brother! Long time no hear! Hope all is well. As for the agreement, our MEC is still under an NDA and they said they hope more information can be put out in a few weeks. While the JB-UA rumor has circulated over here for years too, I don't think that's what this is. If you put a gun to my head, I'd say we just signed some kind of agreement with AAL. They're pulling their international hub out of LAX. There's rumors we're going to close LGB and move all west coast operations to LAX. I've hear AAL is giving up slots in JFK and reducing ops even more in Boston.
Again, just a bunch of pilots sitting around the sewing club speculating after they specifically told us not to, but you know pilots. We do what we want.
If you hear anything more on your side, let me know. Talk to ya later!
