Naaw....ALPA will roll over on that too. There will be some sort of "pilot shortage relief act" that ALPA will sponsor at the last minute.

4-7 years is a long time to wait for guys that have over 14,0000 hours and 10,0000 of that PIC jet. I see the ex-pat career picking up steam more and more.

I feel like I've been run over by the bus (again), and then had a stapler shoved up my *ss.

Thank you brothers and sisters for once again forgetting the 1437.

Can't wait to get back to the line.

"If you think you're gonna move on to bending the CAL guys over in the SLI, you're dead wrong."

And what did the CAL types do to the Frontier pilots in the 80's? What did the CAL pilots do to the EAL pilots? I do not think CAL will get bent over, the McCaskill-Bond law will not allow that.

Are you sure about that? CAL had hocked everything and was looking at bankruptcy #3 and I dont think you are allowed 3 chapter 11s, its chapter 7 time and ALPA fragmentation policy.

WOW thats some powerful crack !
CAL was the bankrupt carrier with parts hocked for credit?
Please, go ahead and make that argument to the mediators.

Amazing to see how you guys went from constantly talking about how badly you wanted this merger to "your welcome"

That's what I'm talking about! CAL was completely dead in the water, but thankfully the United BOD was magnanimous enough to save us. For that reason I pledge that I will never allow any coworker to speak badly of Glenn Tilton in my flight deck.

If history repeats itself, it will be 8 years. They don't expire; they become "amendable".
