UAL/CAL one step closer

[flygirlqt]

Why would UAL need orders if CAL has them on order....

So would you submit then that UAL pilots have zero career expectations outside of normal retirements? Would you agree then that all new aircraft coming onto the combined airline should have CAL pilots advancing into them? Just being the devils advocate here. Unlike some of the other tools on this thread, at least you have a civil and rational manner about you

I don't recal CAL posting record profits either....and they are building cash...is CAL?

Not looking specifically right now at numbers, although our results have been less than stellar, there were quarters of profit at CAL. UAL has posted some stunning losses and correct me if I am wrong the cash burn has been accelerating.

On a side note I bet you did look hot in your hooters outfit though...

Did? I still fit into it! Just for the record, I wore it as a Halloween costume this year. That stair master has been worth it's weight in gold!

 

[flygirlqt]

Ok, I usually stay out of these discussions but just couldn't let this pass...

FGqt-
When do we get to fly together!!!

LOL

Happy Holidays~
Motch

Happy Holidays to you as well!

Luckytohaveajob's clone Pocohole is lurking. Judging by the amount of bitterness, I'll guess they are one in the same. :laugh:

Yes it is, but only a thousand?

That is all I am committing to until I see the pic. Who knows it could increase in value though LOL!

 

[flygirlqt]

Mine is bigger and better than youurs!!!!

You might want to get in touch with Pocono Pilot. She needs a larger than average unit to fill up that cavernous opening she used to get her current job.

Crockett was a guy, maybe that went over your head and it was too difficult for you.

Tell you what though..when I was putting myself through school working at Hooters, I modeled on one of their calenders. So grab some tissues and have fun with that.

I was referring to the CAL pilot in the video. If you can't keep up, leave.

Hooters? That explains the intelligence.

I guess the my earler reference to post 58 on post 71 taxed your reading comprehension and split that comb over didn't it?

Well, my intelligence just got me through my first semester at Georgetown Law School. Where did you do your post graduate work? TK? :laugh:

As an outsider looking in, I must point out the irony that CAL's contract and rules are almost as good as everyone else's -- after bankruptcy. Don't worry about the fall from your high horse -- it's a really short fall.

Our company didn't need bankruptcy to accomplish the same thing. They used the liars and thieves running CALALPA at the time to float the "idea" of bankruptcy. The threat of furloughs/A-plan loss was enough to get a majority to swallow this POS without that pesky bankruptcy thing. It disgusted me.

There has been a slow, methodical, housecleaning since then. It is still progressing at a snail's pace because so many of these parasites are firmly entrenched in their cushy flight pay loss positions, but it IS happening.

CAL has played ALL their fear cards and are now left with a young, fairly junior, and extremely pissed off group who aren't buying into the BS any more. There are still a bunch of spineless pussies working here who will piss their pants at the thought of confrontation, you could find most of them sleeping in a IAH crew room last week. It appears that, finally, they are the exception rather than the norm and are slowly retiring.

We have been our own worst enemy but I am cautiously optimistic that it is FINALLY changing.

For the sake of everyone in the industry, I hope you are right.

Your explanation raises two questions though? 1) How did CALALPA get that way to begin with? and 2) What part of that history is giving the CAL folks on this board such an air of smug superiority toward their UAL "union brothers"?

I highly doubt anyone from Georgetown Law spends their free time talking trash on FI. Hooter skank? A different story. I'm through with you.

PS....It's "earlier" counselor.

Air of smugness? Christ what do you call some of Lucky's diatribe?

Just a question for you though since none of the UAL folks want to answer it. What do you think the retired UAL union brothers think about the current make up of the UAL pilot group?

I have still have a CAL seniority number and schools out. I actually don't care what you believe so we are even.

Hooter skank? A different story. I'm through with you.

Hooters skank? You must be gay then. No problem ...to each his own.

Another spelling troll :laugh:. I 'll be careful next time with spell check

Is that you Flygirl? Math is hard huh? LOL!

One of our most despised Captains. I have yet to meet a copilot that enjoys flying with her.

Personally I don't think either group has a makeup or a record that puts them in a position to cast aspersions on anyone. I'm not sure what you're getting at about the UA retirees. The UAL MEC gave up huge amounts of pay and work rules to try to save the pension and the judge took it anyway. What else did you think they should have done? Maybe you don't understand what went on.

You're just jealous of Capt. Kahn's awesome shirt. Is that seriously what the cal gals have to wear?
