CALFO starts this ****e storm.
I agree sleeves,
So why don't you go knock some sense into CALFO if you are really worried about unity. He's the mealy mouthed little twit who was trolling for trouble in the first place.
Again, the only reason the question was asked of Smisek was that the interviewer could understand why on Earth a "great and phenomenal" airline like CAL would get involved with the likes of United. It's hilarious.
It's over, all this is doing is driving us further apart and helping MGT.
So why don't you go knock some sense into CALFO if you are really worried about unity. He's the mealy mouthed little twit who was trolling for trouble in the first place.

My post is all about promoting unity. When I see a post that post to a link to a video, the title of which is states that Smisek says Cal would
Be marginalized without United, that is not promoting unity. If we are to take the one sentence title to be a summary of the complete interview, we are missing a lot of what was said.
My point is that you can find a lot of "gems" in the interview that our pilot group can use to disparage one another. One group can feel superior to another. The realty is that both Legacy's needed to merge to thrive in this industry. My point is that no matter where we ended up in SLI, we are all better for this merger. Time to accept and move along.

CALFO...are you really trying to rationalize with Hoss????
This is what they do ....they post some comment that insinuates the grandeur of the LUAL side and the Regionalesque image of the CAL side and when you defend the CAL position from said comments you are called a troll, a divider and an instigator....
But don't give up bro, at some point people of good faith need to stand up and defend their past and where they came from but also being cognizant of the reality that we are one group moving towards a common goal...

This. Amen.
