Seems like a merger is all but announced. I really didn't think it would happen.... CEOs don't jump ship for no reason.... I wonder when they will announce it?
Who is WE in your example? Didn't the USAIR east guys try to do this?And in a merger...we MUST put language in the combined contract that ALL furloughed UAL and CAL pilots are returned to the property before anything is signed....and credit is given for time out on furlough.
I am as disgusted as you. Keep in mind that the company is expecting to "save" $100 million in with these cutbacks. Larry Kellner will be paid $20 million by the end of this year ($10 million salary plus another $10 million severance). ONE unit is being paid 20% of cuts gained from the backs of 1700 human beings. This is criminal.
1. it's a shot over the bow at alpa - since thats where the head alpa guy works
2. unlike UAL they at least wont publish a numebr and go beyond that
3. when a ceo leaves a job that pays a crapload of money there's a reason they leave-- at that point int heir life-- they really only care about self worth-- not venturing out and seeing if they still got it and try to bring along a new company
4. ive read the articles talking about the debt and other figures that say cal will have to declare bankruptcy unless they can renegotiate their agreements-- much like united the credit card companies run that and they will agree to it b/c both airlines are their cash cows.
5. ual sucks -- another 7% and the furlough just keeps getting longer and longer
6. i dont think ill agree with the rest rules requiring that many more pilots- if the airlines keep cutting capacity that in combination with the winter months coming means.... more furloughs and less jobs--- they appear not to see beyond 1-3 quarters for staffing.
