We had profit sharing last year and every year. But because the JCBA is taking longer and that portion "expired", we now negotiated some big deal at the expense of UAL. Uniform deals are held up because UAL union wants to add another star to the wings to symbolize the capture of CAL. You parked nearly your whole widebody fleet to make you ready for the merger do you deserve priority in sli. Y'all seem to forget we were doing fine without you. You weren't. So enough of the kumbaya. I've got decades as captain to recoupe from this debacle. Do you? Our leverage is a no vote. If its not a good contract for my side, it really doesn't matter if it's good for you or not. Anything good for cal will be better for UAL, so "unity" doesn't matter. Two independent votes. I apologize for iPhone spelling. No unity here. Enjoy 20% of your pilots flying for us while they continue to park your dinosaurs as I fly brand new metal. I don't love my job or CAL, but I have witnessed the brain surgeon mentality in person. Good luck guys. I hope we bring you up to a decent lifestyle and your scabs are as happy as our scabs. You have plenty also.

Really?! - how many widebodies did we park?

And by the way - your scabs won't be as happy going forward when they fly with United pilots.

Hopefully not. Are all of yours treated properly? Not being a smart a. Just wondering. Ours walk around like they did nothing wrong.
