And yet when the formal meger occurred in 2010 UAL a better balance sheet than CAL. It turns out the collective financial analysis groupthink of fellow pilots was worth jack. Admit that.

As a bonus, which CEO (CAL or UAL) testified in front if Congress that their company would not survive without the merger?

(Hint: It reminds me of that story about the guy in the glass house.)

Tomorrow. IF our "IT company with wings" can get it out on time.

I'm going for the left seat again. I had to give it up to merge with UAL.

Enemy is management. Not the other pilot group. SLI WILL BE GOING TO ARBITRATION so what are you going to prove on an anonymous message board? Relax! Who are the people who want you to relax SCOPE, give you a "bonus" check instead of full retro, give you crappy work rules, pay you less, and want you to retire in the poor house?
Jeez!!!
Direct your anger in the right direction! Aim at that homo Jeff and his minions! They get EXTREMLY excited when we fight amongst our selfs.

Just a couple of questions while these M&A experts verbally chest thump:

1. Who came up with the snap shot date....May 2, 2010...I believe.

2. Can that date be changed?

3. If it can be changed, by whom? Arbitrators, MEC resolution?

Considering that the SLI processes has not even formally started, is there even a snapshot date?

United going out of business was a large part of AA's post 9/11 business plan. They were wrong and so you and your various fellow pilots were too. We made huge sacrifices that saved UAL and pre-merger had several billion cash in the bank and was the #1 on-time airline for 2 years straight. You were wrong and look what a bang up job your sCAL execs (touted for several years by ya'll as the best) are doing these days. CAL reservation systems...crap, CAL management...crap. No junior sUAL active or furloughed pilot I know feels entitled...we just want a fair non-staple job integration. "Laugh" or be "sick and tires" whatever it is today, but the only thing I'm glad about is that this will be handled in arbitration and not by you!

Back to this BS are we?

Who cares who was better than who, we are chained to an anchor right now, (see Smisek and the crappy airline that we work for), TOGETHER and the more sh!t slinging we do amongst each other, the less effective we'll be against the real enemy.

Save it for that lame-ass team that's hunkered down on Whacker Ave guys.
