United buying CAL

[Pocono Pilot]

OMG, I just heard United is buying CAL and merging lists by DOH. Keeping United name too.

Also ExpressJet will finally be getting our flying back that CAL gave to Colgan. Finally!!!

And yes I did stay at a holiday inn express last night. LOL

 

[XR650R]

Bored?

 

[Pocono Pilot]

nope, apparently it was leaked from the United MEC meeting and verified. Its all over calforums. United wanted a staple but got DOH for bottom pilots.

 

[Sandhawk]

Stand by for posting from Instructor D0uche / Brown-on-my-bone / ??? in 5,4,3,2......

The Village Idiot is back! So one thread over there constitutes "all over calforums" huh? Go crawl back under your rock. Troll.

 

[F/O]

Bored?

No, just a dumba$$....

 

[Flybywire44]

No way they would keep the United name... merger may be possible.

 

[inflightboi175]

United is is the more dominant name they would keep united. It would of been say having delta take nwa as a name or us air name going away and becoming all america west

 

[Vegaspilot99]

Seriously, they should have kept the America West name.

 

[Paul R. Smith]

You give xjt folk a bad name with your fail. At least consider that.

 

[BigPappa]

Are you confusing USAir / America West with United?

 

[bluechunks]

United wanted a staple but got DOH for bottom pilots.

LOL. Your credibility could be improved quite a bit if you actually read the ALPA merger policy prior to trolling.

You also forgot to mention that XJT will be ditched as part of the transaction and all UAL/CAL express flying will be provided by Skywest.

IMHO, the new Delta should have been NWA. Northwest is a little older than Delta and NW definitely has name dominance in Asia.....where Delta wanted to be more than NWA wanted western Europe. Anyway, it's all moot now.

 

[whatitdoing?]

I think if a merger goes down it'll say United on all the planes. They don't have the best reputation, but they have the best exposure and recognition. Reputation can be repaired. If a merger goes down, DOH will not be an option at all. I can understand relative seniority and maybe something with career expectations thrown in, but DOH is a joke. I say go straight to arbitration. We'll see who prevails...

Um, XJT getting ditched?? I don't think so. Your post is so ridiculous it's not even funny. I guess you didn't hear that ExpressJet is about to get a huge United contract.

Now if we could just get CAL out of the picture..... LOL

 

[Flopgut]

Spoken like a true CAL pilot................................

What he proposes is a hundred times more fair than what a UAL pilot would have for CAL pilots if the tables were turned. What were you going to do to America West? How about USAir? What did you actually do to Frontier (#1)???

Go see for yourself. I try to stay off of calforums. My impression of that website is a bunch of little weenies with little weenies crying about how small their weenies are. LOL LOL LOL

 

[SpauldingSmails]

UAL couldn't buy a dinner and a movie, how are they going to buy an entire airline? That place burns money faster than a scab running across a picket line in '83.

 

[SMOE]

Ummm, never mind...

"our flying"

bwa ha ha ha ha!!!

Get a clue moron, there's ONE thread on Calforums regarding this rumor "leak" and it's pretty much a non-event. Whoopee. Troll.

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

Please don't feed the troll.

but you don't stay off do you? If I was you my concern would be about the dying economics of a 50 seat RJ.

Whatever! Nerd.

I'd be worried if we were anchored to CAL forever, but United is a different story. Pretty soon CAL will get eaten up by United and we'll be working for real major airline.

See ya wouldn't wan ta be ya! LOL

 

[145BOSS]

I agree.

With all the retirements, CAL could be the most secure major out there. Also, there is a good chance that CAL will be the highest paid eventually with a new contract.

I hope to be there soon.

How things change once you get rejected.

Looks like you threw the turd into the punchbowl before I could. I also have to ask...where is the money for this supposed purchase gonna come from?

 

[145BOSS]

I saw Tilton downtown Chicago the other day trying to raise money. He was behind a tree in Grant Park holding up a sign that said "Acquisition Tug Jobs $20"

Probably through a stock swap...like it normally happens....IE: DAL/NWA.
