Soon to be 'closing' the book at Continental.
Tomorrow (October 1st) is the start of a new day. One that marks the end to what 'was' CAL, and the embarking of a new beginning. Change is never easy, and something many of us will have to work through. Here's to what 'was', and hoping the best for everyone in the new airline - UNITED.
Cheers. YouTube - Continental Airlines Tribute |
Looking forward to working with you.

The only tears I've shed today were when I looked at my Pay Register. Call it/paint it whatever. Time to get PAID.
If any UAL guys feel like trading SEA domicile for EWR, you've got my info. :D |
Holy crap that was FAST. The United/CAL merger is already done? Seniority integration and everything?

This is a 'closing'. As in - it's official on paper and makes investors happy. Labor related and operations type stuff could drag on and on... |
What I find ironic/disturbing from our side is before 9/11 we had 10,000 + pilots, employees owned 55% of the company and the company was traded on the NYSE under UAL.
Then, we went bankrupt, went by the name UAUA on Nasdaq and shrank to about 6500 pilots so we could then merge with you guys.... And now tomorrow, we will once again have more than 10,000 pilots and be trading under UAL symbol. Difference is we've lost millions in ESOP stock, millions more in contract concessions and substantial seniority. I guess to make the loop complete they will be looking for an employee buy-out in a couple years when the glow of the merger has worn off! Nothing new under the sun, UFB! KC |
