My post is not about unity. Neither was his. You can't have it both ways. CaL took a bunch of bids (deny it, go ahead), yet in this one instance the contract benefits both sides (each can use the displacement provisions) and somehow it is the ual side sticking it to the cal side.

I believe that is exactly what we are trying to get SMI/J to do......there's a reason why customer service stinks and it resides in the Willis Tower.

Last time I checked you were ahead 2 BK to our 1. We didn't lose $600M in the 1st quarter because Legacy United people demand that the contract be followed.

Is that what they told you at CAL? If they really followed the contract you would be out of business?

Then maybe management should not have agreed to put that in the contract.

Wow. After reading this I might just go out and get me one of those $7 bottles of Trader Joe's wine that they serve to our Global First customers.

Hiding behind contract language doesn't prove a point. And it certainly doesn't make a profitable airline. I have seen firsthand the difference in attitude between legacy U and legacy CAL. I know you got a raw deal. Don't think that manipulating the contract is going to fix what's been done. In the process of getting even you are going to ruin this place. Then what will you have proved? That Jeff is an idiot?

Making a point is what is known as honoring the contract. I don't let anyone crap on me and get away with it. You wonder why this management is cheating on the contract so much? It is because you all let them get away with it for years. I am not going anywhere, I will keep making a point until I like it here.

One man's "hiding behind contract language" is another man's "I'm upholding what we agreed to and not letting management push me around".

Your statement and that you believe it really says it all I think.

Do you think anyone in senior management would permit the contract that they signed with the company to be violated even once? Why do you find a doouble standard to be acceptable?

Everyone here knows the difference between following the letter of the law and making an airline work. My point is that there are l-UAL people who are more preoccupied with making a statement than working as an airline pilot. I have seen it firsthand. Don't be that guy. Please. Yes, like most here, I have struggled through a fight for a contract. It doesn't mean I undermine my airline by using it as a weapon.
