Can any of you CAL guys comment about your latest ALPA updates?
Our last few ALPA-MEC updates at UAL seem to have all kinds of "meetings" and other functions with both MEC's of UAL and CAL meeting all last week. I think we are getting our contracts in line with each other.
We keep hearing all kinds of rumors here at UAL, just curious what you guys at CAL are hearing?
Sure, if I was at UAL I'd be spreading rumors all the damn time to keep the fire going. Not going to happen guys!!! There's no reason for it for now. I don't think the need is there and that the DL/NW merger didn't start the firestorm that was expected. We've been talking about this UAL merger for the last 10 years min!! It's sort of old now.
As far as the meetings go.....uuhh, we're meeting with everyone all the time. We've had meetings with every single major MEC to discuss goals and direction for all future contracts. We've also been getting advice and game plans from more experienced MEC's. UAL's MEC and our MEC have been meeting a bunch of times recently because we're both concerned with outsourcing and whipsawing at our two companies. Now that we've entered into this Star deal and now aligning our operations, it's ripe for whipsaw...not merger. We would of done it back last year. If it didn't happen then, it's not going to happen for a long time. If UAL had their sheot together, we'd be merged right now. But until they shave off all that excess fat and turn themselves around, NO ONE is coming to their rescue. We'll just be around to pick up the pieces.
