Default UAL & Oprah Winfrey

Just came across this....."pretty stoked".

Find it funny that UAL's new Mgt team ear-marks themselves with handsome raises while not being able to share the "wealth" in it's new found 'synergies' with it's Pilot Group's via the JCBA.

Just saw this today.....UAL apparently has a bit more "money to burn". They are going to paint an entire B757 with "Oprah Winfrey" Livery.....yes, you heard it right. Hope they are using a -300 to allow enough room to fit her entire effigy on this single aircraft.

Truly pathetic at best.

Use Mozilla. it'll fit on one page. As far as watching Oprah, she fits on a 50" plasma.

The numbers in her bank account won't.

Next thing Oprah will say is..." Does this airplane make my butt look big to you?" Actually, there is no picture...thank God!

They'll probably use that plane to fly her audience to Seaworld.
