The "YES" vote started time clock for of SLI start and stopped the seat grab and other things from impacting the UAL side. The contract is a POS but as a betting man, I'd bet that half of the "YES" voters were CAL pilots tired of the dealings of their MEC.
Man what koolaid are you drinking?

Same stuff you're drinking. It's just that koolaid doesn't have an effect on logical thinking. What about my post caused you to come out with the koolaid comment? You voted for the JCBA, didn't you?

Sled,
You and the handful of LUAL guys that post on here really give LUAL pilots a bad name. It's obvious that you are trying to compensate your fear and cluelessness with arrogant and ill informed posts. Have you even read the transcripts?


Perhaps you've just been polishing up your next "We have to vote YES" campaign for the next turd that mgt sends us and haven't had time to read the FACTS? In that case - Boo!

I read all the transcripts Mitch Rapp. You bet your arse I voted yes, which brought on the SLI clock, which brought us to this moment. When the SLI is complete, the 3 year party for you '05-'08 guys ends and the next 20 years begins. Do you really think '97 hires are going to be stapled? HAHA. Nope. We will be a 1000 man plug in your career progression. Get ready.

Possibly voting no would have kept costs down as we trudged on without a contract and the minimal LCAL contract soldiered on and replaced all of the LUAL guys? What the HE!! are you getting at here? There are so many divergences from reality it would take weeks just try and break it down..
Sorry Hoss, I have to ask what 900's have you been flying that are so SEVERELY LIMITED? The one I fly, I'm sure doesn't climb like the 75 and has much higher REF speeds. But, as far as revenue (which I believe is all they or US should care about) I've NEVER been restricted!! Sure it can't go into SNA and you will get to FL370 5 min. before me. However, you need to ask the question, which one makes more money? You may say 757 but I took one of our planes over to one of the MX shops that are doing the window heat mods and he said the 75's that he's worked on the UAL side are being sent to bone yard because it's to costly to bring them up to speed. It will cost more than they are worth. His words not mine. He said one's that are close to break even to fix are being sold to the likes of FEDEX.

Clearly you didn't COMPREHEND the transcripts. That coupled with the fact that you don't understand ALPA merger policy makes for a very ignorant pilot. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you were so quick to fall for the latest fear tactics preached during the UPA vote. Anyway, carry on "Sled".

Name calling doesn't change the facts. We'll find out soon enough who is right...I sure am glad "WE" passed that contract !!
