Agreed. I don't care if he personally craps a pile of 600M in cash to solve his problem. Our JCBA is COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY UNRELATED to "their" problem with the city of Houston and the completion of terminal B.

Boeing Co. is set to win an order this week from United Continental Holdings for 100 of the planemaker’s 737 jets in a transaction that may be valued at about $8.4 billion, people familiar with the matter said.

The accord includes options for as many as 100 more jets and will be announced July 12 in Chicago, where both companies are based, said two of the people, who asked not to be identified because details aren’t public. The order will include the upgraded 737 Max model, the people said.

Will those be flown by L-CAL or L-UAL? At the pace we are going that is a valid concern.

Jump,

Obviously, those aircraft won't all show up on a single day or any day in the near future. As to who would fly them, I think you already know the answer if their hasn't been a JCBA/SLI completed prior to delivery. LUAL has no 737's in operation.....

Frats,
Lee

Simply a bait being cast. Abbott on the reel and Jeffy driving the boat.
But.....the L-CAL pilots have financed aircraft before.....why not cast back in the honey hole.

Let's see, old UAL gets rid of 737s and furloughs the 1500 pilots who flew them. Same furloughed pilots are now flying new 737s at old CAL on a cheaper contract. Shell gaming at it's finest. New UAL has outsourced the 737 flying to itself!
