Good Post Krudawg! Although I think, if UCH makes a profit in 2012 we will be back in the same boat. The CO pilots will start this all over again because the CAL Pilot contract still doesn't have a non-expiring PS in it. They will want it again. Personally I hope they get it again ONLY if the Valentines Day massacre still occurs and it helps us ALL get a JCBA. Somehow I don't think the CO pilots ire will be up enough after the band aid.
Maybe though when the UCH management opens a IAH 320 base and the CO pilots can't bid it and they see their 737 flying decrease ... one can hope that they will then be angry enough. UCH will certainly open an ORD 737 and DEN 737 base. That will make some of them happy and raise the Blood Pressure at UA.
ALL UAL pilots are happy that the CO pilots got the money instead of Smisek or shareholders. The UA pilots were just hoping that the CO pilots would get p*$$&% about something and start to fight.

The injunction sure seems to say UAL ALPA as well, but reality is we all live under it. Think about that before suggesting we are pansies for not undertaking an action the judge would pimp slap us over. But what do I know I'm not a brain surgeon.

Yes it does say alpa and set us back quite a ways but don't think for one minute that all the united pilots were involved in this action. Did I suggest something?

(Hint: the enemy is UniCal management. The time for unity was right after the merger announcement. Any time you guys are ready, we would love to have you join us.)

Coach, your response appears to be another sniper attack at CAL pilots when the thread is about unity. Why? Tearing one group down to build up another will not help FWIW...A fact, 737 flying will not decrease, as that fleet is growing and the CAL side has fight, just like UA. We may disagree, but attacking each other and building division is doing mgts job
What are the CAL pilots going to do next year when we still don’t have a JCBA and the CAL pilots start again with the PS issue? It still isn’t in the CAL contract.
As far as operating separate subsidiaries without a JCBA, UAL will burn their side down quicker than the CAL side can build up to replace. That would be a very unwise strategy even for this management.
