[Flopgut]

Sounds like Continental needs to be the successor to get around this?

I don't believe there is an exception for any successor to this obligation. Therefore CAL buying UAL would still obligate the new CAL to pay PBGC.

 

[Yuppyguppy]

ah just lay off another 1000 pilots or say and pay for managements stupid mistakes...that'll fix it

 

[Ex737Driver]

Funny how a pilot, mechanic, or FA contract is always negotiable but ask a bank, a bond holder, the PBGC, etc. to change their terms, well then, it's harder than trying to separate Rosie O'Donnell from her spoon .

and there goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt......da da da da da da da da daaaaaaa...

 

[Uncle Bort]

Let's be realistic: arbitration for integration, loss of scope, and many, many furloughs. You RJ "professionals" out there, you're at the pinnacle, how does it feel?

 

[JetsRforKids]

The scary thing about SFR is that he is actually a CAL pilot. I always assumed he was some regional guy acting like an idiot to make CAL look bad. Unfortunately he actually is an idiot who is flying for CAL.

Can you firm that up?

Hey Uncle Bort, since you have your crystal ball out............can you give me the winning numbers for tonight's MegaMillions?




On second thought, re-reading your prediction....cancel that request.

"Next week" is this week, and the Trib says so as well.

"A source close to the talks told the Tribune that the carriers remain on track to wrap up a deal during the next few days"

What's your point?

CAL has idiots in each domicile.

A little help

I put SFR on my ignore list just in time to avoid the serious degradation of my cognitive abilities that surely would have resulted from prolonged exposure to his nonsense.

However, there is a bit of a loophole in the ignore function, when someone quotes this clown, I am re-exposed to the above mentioned nonsense.


Please stop quoting SFR, thereby endangering the mental capacities of those around you.

Thank you.

This has been a public service message.

If you were EWR based, you would understand. Chill, I'm kidding. But I am glad you have him down there instead of up here.

[waveflyer]

your MECs will do their thing- but in the end- think delta, not USAir
good luck to all if this finally does go down

 

[contrail67]

Down with UAL!!!!! Down Down!!!!!

This is what eventually happens after you fail the interview and are still trying to figure out the mental math questions they asked you, later in life....
