You spelled American wrong.

Well, you spelled Merican wrong =)

Congrats to the employees of UAL. I hope it continues and you have a great profit sharing next year. UAL appears to be firing on all cylinders. Your turn to lead the profession, now go out and get a great contract that we (Delter) can piggyback off of!

That this isn't the attitude across both employee groups, whoever is doing "better," is pretty sad. We all benefit when times are good.

Its actually better for employees if all airlines are making money and prospering, because desperate airlines do desperate things with pricing which in turn drags down yields for most.

You're here posting as well and complaining and disputing it, so does that mean your "entire life is wrapped up in it"? Do I really occupy that much space in your head? Should I be paying rent to you?

My first 6 years at United were pretty fun, but it went downhill pretty soon after that. Its been very nice the last decade or so and with just under 5 years left there is nothing wrong with being proud of being at an airline that's being run the way we always though an airline should be run. Also everything I posted was a cut and paste from both United's and Delta's earnings reports.

So yes, I'm proud and excited, but mostly for the younger pilots who will have a much better career experience than I had overall, and much better than my friends hired 3-5 years after me from 1998-2000 who were furloughed and/or stagnated for over a decade. I just don't want to see any pilot have that happen to them.

I don't think anything I wrote suggests otherwise. A rising tide lifts all boats.
