You pretty much hijack every single thread and make it divisive and antagonistic. You even somehow turned my previous slam of you into a potential ISL argument. I still haven't figured out how you pulled that one off.
Now that really hurts my feelings. Was my last post about your SLI gambit wrong? Why do you oppose putting the United pilots in the mainstream of the Major Forum? BTW, I think you hijacked this thread.

It's still bothering you though.

Ok then - I'll play! As far as your SLI assumptions, I'll let you tell me how I feel and the effect it's having on my longevity. About 10 years to go - how about yourself?

Staller is a 570. Since he admitted his age, he was hired at 26, with minimal qualifications. 99% of his aviation experience is UAL. The early scabs at UAL are called "fleet quals". They had some experience on type, at least on paper that probably wasn't vested.
Most of the later pilots hired during the 85 strike had lower qualifications than the earlier ones. Many of them were hired very young, some I believe were 21 or 22. I flew with a few. They are a couple of years younger than myself. I was hired in 95, with real qualifications, at the ripe young age of 32.

Don't feed Staller.

I have failed to take my own advice the last few posts. My apologies to all. Except Staller.

I don't know if "staller" is a 570 or not but you're grossly misinformed about the 570. I was one of the least qualified in my class with 5500 total and 1500 turbine PIC (commuter). We had test pilots, fighter pilots, corporate jet captains, guys with 1000's of hours of heavy time (Brannif, World, etc) and so on.

They weren't hiring anyone before the strike who didn't have TONS of time. The intern program didn't start until the mid 90's, around when you were hired. I flew with several of these low-timers in the 757/767 when they were still on probation. They were low time but they were top notch people and a real pleasure to fly with.

You may want to focus on the gentleman above. He keeps referring to "Staller" as an evil and all along really missing the history of the UAL pilots over the 80's and 90's. It should make you question all of his post especially in reference to his claim of being a UAL pilot over any of that time period. It may explain why he is resistant to merging this "UAL/CAL merger forum" with the major forum.

In reference to your question - NEVER - to much bad Karma over there for me to get involved - not that there's anything wrong with bad Karma.

Has anybody changed there mind about merging the UAL/CAL forum into the Major Forum? Very little of the talk is about constructive merger issues. Not many threads get past 4 or 5 post before it turns info a contest. Fresh input may stop some of the BS happening on the merger forum and that could do us all good.
