Slug,

I see your point. Yeah, I am UP on Delta because I think it is great that we are doing something against the LCC's. I am not trying to become a "commercial" for Song or Delta----I just want to show everyone that we shouldn't be counted out, yet. You are right about staying out of a United thread. Take it easy and I hope you do get on with Southwest.

Bye Bye--General Lee:cool:
 
General,
That was a very nice reply to a less than considerate post when you were only answering someone else's question on the thread...very classy...very classy
 
Just curious, where is all this United stuff going to leave Air Wisconsin...they seem to be doing well right now.
 
apology

General and Gumby,

Sorry my post came across so harsh. At the time I can only imagine where my head was. My wife was reading it a while ago and she couldn't believe I wrote it. I am usually mello and don't get steamed over much so please accept my apology.

I'm very bummed for my UAL brethren; whether this goes thru or not it is not good. Of the 100-200 military friends/acquaintances (sp?) I have there - they will all be affected negatively. Any glimmer of good in the industry has been downtrodden by the usual UAL mess unfolding. Nothing personal, just bad news bringing me down. (That and the $1800 bill to get my transmission fixed, ha ha). Later

Re: DIA, United, Frontier and Alaska

Heard an interesting rumor that as soon as UAL cuts back significantly (a foregone conclusion?) at DIA, Alaska wants Frontier for a Denver presence.

Sounds pretty far fetched.

Alaska is very conservative and Frontier isn't exactly making a mint.

Any thoughts?

Rumors are everywhere, they are like opnions which are like.......

I heard something along the same lines. AK was looking at A320's which would fall right into you line of thinking.

Or that CAl want's back into DEN in the worst way.

Or that if the NWA/DAL/CAL alliance actually goes though (not this we'll do it anyway, good luck) then AA want's to pick up AK as an alliance partner.

Grain of salt alert. Right now nobody has any money, heck it costs AA $5 mill just to turn the lights on every morning.

Have you heard of any G5 jobs in the North East? Feel free to PM me.
 
I know Slug personally, we met while going through the interview at NWA (yes, we were both hired, we both left and we would have been furloughed)


He is a first rate individual.


I'll leave it at that, only to say we all have said/wrote something that we wanted to take back.

Hi Slug, I sent you a PM
 
Use the EDIT BUTTON

You can use the edit button to take back or censure posts after you post them.

So if you flame someone and want to take it back--go ahead.


Just hit the edit button and edit the text, OR CHECK DELETE THIS POST.


Which is what I will do with this after a couple of days, cause it has nothing to do with UNITED.


By the way. Wouldn't it be nice if pilots could go from one airline to another and get paid based on experience vs senority?

Bet alot of United Pilots will with that shortly.

I hope they all find enjoyable well paying jobs if UAL does fold.

International

Looks like UAL didn't learn anything from Braniff. That is the same mistake that Braniff made during Bankrupcy, selling the international division. International is a cash cow. Fares are set by treaty and can't be lowered without agreement. Right after Braniff agreed to sell the routes to Eastern, they went out of business.

Here we go again.
