There is a big effort to keep Gozer(HR) out of the interview mix. Most would rather pick their destructor and see a panel of stay puft pilots and not a HR person there who knows nothing about flying but ask dumb questions. It's a battle right now and holding up the street hiring process. We may have to cross streams.

I will let my resume and personality or lack there of do the rest. :D I would make sure you eat before hand and wear comfortable shoes. I made the mistake of doing neither in LAS and recall how miserable the hour wait for UA was.

I'm with ya. I was there too. First and last job fair I'm attending. it wAs a miserable experience waiting in line to talk to an airline for 2hrs, with the allotted time. If they had that many folks, they should've broke it up into a morning and afternoon session, or limited the amount of folks who could attend. But I'm sure Fapa banked off that event!

Still there.

sCAL and sUAL FOM p. 1: "This manual is applicable for use in operations conducted under Air Carrier Certificate CALA 014a (Continental Airlines / New United Airlines)."

When you go to the FAA certificate holder database,

Federal Aviation Administration - Airline Certificate Information

"United Airlines" pulls up CAL's certificate,

Someone did not get an interview I am guessing. Pay your dues son.

United Continental Holdings, Inc. owns 3 major things.
1. An Air Carrier Operating Certificate (CALA014A)
2. United Airlines, Inc.
3. Continental Airlines, Inc.

Take a look at the Operation Specifications you guys are flying under. They say on the bottom of each one, " United Airlines, Inc. and/or Continental Airlines, Inc."

The 30 year skid of United Airlines, Inc. is about to come to an end. With all the debt, PBGC liabilities, Old rat airplanes and equipment that is leased at over inflated costs, and now the 911 law suits, it time to just Chapter 7 Liquidate.

We have seen this before, first when United bought the Pacific routes from Pan Am. We saw it at Eastern, Western, TWA, People Express, you can go down the list. This is just Airline Business 101. It starts with Attorneys and finishes with ALPA having sex with itself.

The 2J's know this, or they should, they have been told that this was going to happen in the end. Pierce wants to wait till the United Seniority list is in Liquidation. Heppner wants the SLI before it happens. What are the odds? Anyone want to bet their career?

It's going to get real ugly fast.

Yak:

Went back and looked at your posts, let's see...

Your definitely a CAL pilot.
Possibly hired after the People integration into the CAL list.
You are negative about almost everything you have ever posted here.
Your credibility is almost zero.
While you're probably not a scab by definition your posts aren't far from them.

Sad!

Except for the fact that CAL and UAL closed the formal merger in 2010 with about equal debt/equity ratios (although amazingly UAL had more cash), UAL has ZERO liability for the 9/11 lawsuits (Federal law limits 9/11 damages to UAL's insurance coverage and besides, the UAL on 9/11 no longer exists after the bankruptcy), UAL owned more of their aircraft, and the PBGC has already mostly been made whole and UAL's future PBGC liability was transferred to it's successor (i.e. UCH) I'd say you are quite on top of things. :rolleyes:

100% correct.

Sorry it makes you sad, I am making a post like everyone else on the forum. Take it for what it is.

I'm not a Scab, but I have flown with more than a few. You putting me in the same category with them is a little far fetched. I'll buy dinner on any layover and you can get a chance to change your feelings about me. Just name the overnight.
