Default rumor control

Anyone have any independent confirmation to the rumor floating around that Mr. Smizack has been terminated?

Not yet... but his job security is inversely related to pilot unity...

There's the quarterly conference call next week. Someone's gotta ask,

"Jeff, Southwest Airlines merged with Airtran on May 2nd and their pilots already have an integrated seniority list--and those were even different unions. What's the holdup with the contract and list at UAL and CAL after 18 months--with the same union?"

I heard a rumor that in the new United the Department of Rumor Development is being eliminated. Seems the employees are becoming so cynical they no longer believe these rumored announcements.

I still say that at that Business Traveler's Meeting in Denver when we picket we should go with my idea of having signs that say:

"UAL-CAL Pilots Support Garry Kelly for United CEO!"

I bet there will but NOT to defend Jeffy, the SWA/AT joint contract is probably just the SW contract, ie zero or very little to negotiate, unlike UAL vs CAL with all the good and bad on either side. Not the same thing.
