The United States government recently awarded United more than $974 million in estimated contracted revenue from travel by government employees and contractors during fiscal 2012 on 1,741 city pairs.
“This is the largest amount of revenue and largest number of city pair awards ever awarded to a single carrier,” said Military and Government Sales Manager Tom Billone. We won the contracts for 975 domestic and 766 international city pairs.
The General Services Administration (GSA) has been managing the program for more than 30 years. It has grown from 11 markets to more than 5,000. Airlines compete to win these contracts on a route-by-route basis.
In awarding city-pair contracts, the GSA considers the availability of nonstop service, total number of flights, flight availability, average elapsed flight time, availability of jet service and price of service.

It just amazes me how brainwashed some people are on these forums.

However, regardless your opinion of John Prater as an ALPA president, his employee number at CAL ends in a letter.......send him an email and give him s##t about scabbing...see where it gets you.
Some of you people just throw it on the wall to see what sticks.

From post #1 of the thread:
The parent company that operates United and Continental airlines reported collecting $5 billion in ancillary fees from the soon-to-be merged carriers, the most of any airline company, according to the report.

Brainwashed? No. Observant? Yes. After watching the company kick you in the nuts for the past decade, crying poor, all the while giving themselves ridiculous raises and industry leading pay, I would think you would realize why the rest of us pilots want to be rewarded for saving the company

For an overweight checked bag weighing 71-100 pounds, Continental Airlines is charging $400 on most international flights, and American Airlines is charging $450 on its Asian flights. United Airlines charges $400 for checking bags weighing 71-99.9 pounds on flights to another continent.
Those are the most expensive fees that airlines charge fliers, a new USA TODAY survey of what 13 U.S. carriers charge for services available to coach passengers has found.
