Any good pubs nearby?

Haven't heard that one in a long time. Presentation of info starts a week from Monday. It will be interesting to see if the buyer/seller is even a bullet point, or even this,

Again, old news.....

The operating certificate that survived was the CAL one, and the Maintenance Certificate that survived was the UAL one.

United vice president Michael Quiello explained:

We have decided that the merged airline will retain the legacy Continental operating certificate and the legacy United repair station certificate. This was a technical decision based on a variety of factors.

“In addition, the Continental Micronesia operation will be combined with Continental’s in advance of the integration between the Continental and United operations. This will allow us to avoid delaying the larger, more complicated integration of the United and Continental operations and will simplify some of the later integration steps between the two carriers.”
and a thread from this very website about the changes.... http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/ua...rtificate.html

Well, since they're integrating operators not maintainers I hope they at least bring it up. It may not last long as a Higgs boson though.

Unfortunately not. I work at L'Enfant plaza and it lacks a good after work scene.

I think it would be a good thing if pierce did the opening arguments for the cal side on SLI. His ego will show and he may even reveal things he did to improve the lot for cal integration. He needs to show how smart he is - the little voice keeps talking to him. Sorry he's a tool and will eventually hurt the cal pilots. Will this be the time??


Let's help him with a "Let's go Jay" chant.

Don't know Dexium but if that's what you guys call people that oppose pierce - So be it! He's responsible for the bad contract we have and hopefully his ego will show during SLI. Question - what has jay done for the cal pilots that you're proud of?

Certificates have nothing to do with SLI. CAL certificate was choosen for money reasons. The FAA was going to make the airline(s) start over with stuff CAL already had approval for. For example, RNAV RNP approaches were already on the CAL certificate. Keep the CAL certificate, keep the stuff on the CAL certificate. Easy choice.

I agree, it has nothing to do with SLI, just as how much stock was contributed from each company into United Continental Holdings also has nothing to do with SLI, yet I'm sure that will come up during presentations.
