Actually, James probably took that picture at the Duck Inn in the 90's; the night before his UA interview.

Thus the GodFather of move-n-groove keeps his stable tight.

Carry on James......Carry on.

Wow, not too tough to read between the lines here. I assume you are a UAL guy and were hired in the 90's. What makes you think every single pilot out there (or even a majority) had UAL at the top of their list?

There's a certain arrogance I sense when reading this thread that just makes me shake my head.

The reality is legacy guys are usually proud of their airline.

I remember when the United internship was a huge deal in college. I am glad I never did it, I might be junior to myself now!!!

I have had some great times at United and enjoyed the people I have worked with. Due to past circumstances, I have learned much about myself and the professionalism of others.

A nightmare? Hardly. The career isn't over until you set the brake for the last time.
