Jetblue headed to ORD?

[lowecur]

Sure.....I don't think the CEO's get to make the decisions on acquisitions. It is the BOD and shareholders. Actually, the BOD is the go to. Shareholders can only vote on the proposed merger, not whether discussions can be held. The BOD at US Air is interested, otherwise Dougy would have kept his mouth shut. CAL CEO has said they are not interested in mergers and he is the mouthpiece for the BOD. The words of the CAL CEO are just that. He can not comment one way or the other on what is taking place due to SEC requirements. He cannot comment if there are talks. He can comment if there is no desire to talk....which he did. Of course in your reality anything is possible I suppose.

How do you consider that sour grapes?

Would you allow the government to take part of your homes property and then GIVE it to your neighbor because they don't have as much land as you?

Dude,

Sounds like this has already been done recently. Oh yeah that's right, didn't your company just do that. Like your property being taken away and given to your management? But I guess there is a difference after all. They started with more property to begin with. Never mind...

BTW, nothing against United. I have always been treated well by you guys, but this dude is wound a little tight. Chill out, have a drink, and go fly already. It will take the edge off.

Sure is Zipper,
Hey by the way, how did that little merger work out for you guy's?? I guess it's all fair in love and war eh? Right?

Hey military guy, you wouldn't have a clue about mergers and unions. Get over yourself tough guy....BOO hoo

 

[MRYFLYER]

Well they have enough nickels to pay for gates now. Just no airplanes to put in them. Burn the furniture to keep the house warm

I could care less if welfareair wants to come to ORD. As the UA spokeswoman said we can transport our ORD customers to 100's of destinations that B6 can not. I certainly hope you guys get the US Air gates, the concourse is a bit unkempt and could use a professionals touch at sprucing the newspapers and coffee cups.

Yeah, the F concourse is a bit rough. Good thing no United passengers ever have to go through there

A special effort for those with special needs.

Thanks but but save your breath, you'll need it to blow up your date later.

Did I imply that I did? I guess no one can measure up to any of you folks at TWA who seem to think the world has somehow wronged them at every turn. Your right thou, all I have is eight years in this business along with a furlough t shirt, pay cuts, bankrupcies, work rules beat to heck a CEO who is more interested in parting us out rather then running this company and a long list of other wrongs that pale in comparison to what you the almighty had to endure. Please enlighten me.
OBTW your personal PM speaks volumes about you.

Thanks but but (it must be groundhog day) save your breath, you'll need it to blow up your date later.

I knew you were challenged. God Bless you son.

THIS IS FREAKIN' AMAZING! We have done the impossible, a trifecta of sorts. We turned a jb going to Ord thread into a mil vs. civvie, union/merger and jb sucks/jetsforfree thread.

Yahoo!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

I don't too many UA airplanes will make C or T with a B6 plane behind them so plan accordingly.

MRYFLYER, your kindergarden teacher is looking for you!

I think that this is a bad bad bad idea. There has to be a better place to tie up an A320 then on the ground in ORD. I can remember spending more time on penalty box waiting for departure then it took to fly the trip. If they are seriously considering this then they are really starving for new routes to put their A320's on.

I would have to believe that an Island, vacation destination out of JFK would have better yeilds then spending all your profits on deicing fluid in the winter.

Have you ever been on a JB flight that departs JFK around 6-8pm? It's at least a 45-50 minute taxi. Add to that, the transcons are fuel and load limited. At least out of ORD, even with the long taxi times, JB won't have to worry about west coast tech-stops for fuel. ORD-JFK is also a suitable route for international connections. Maybe JB has some international code shares to announce soon. It's been talked about by management before.

Good response by Mr. Land. Those lawyers for UAL can now go back to kicking their dogs.

I think the real priceless event will be UA dashing the dreams of an ex flyi pilot. We were able to take the wind out of the sails of all that crap that spewed from your group previously and to get a chance to treat you like a redheaded step child once again is truly a treat.

Here is a question for you. What happens to the B6 pax when on the rare occasion (tic) that JFK and or ORD are involved in flow programs. UA and AA are able to shuffle slots and get the business flight to and fro. B6 will not have that luxury and without interlining it will also be priceless to see the looks on the pax face when they find out you guys can not rebook them on a real airline. Oh boy would I pay to see that!

I don't too many UA airplanes will make C or T with a B6 plane behind them so plan accordingly.

Glad to see you enjoyed your whipping by UA when you were at flyi. It will be our pleasure to issue you another.

...and then there was TED. That airline within an airline strategy really works! Ask Delta and SONG. You really don't have that much to stand on coming from a BANKRUPT airline. Don't worry about JB customers. Unlike your airline, JB takes care of its customers no matter what the situation. Maybe that's why they win awards and you don't.

If you can't make C or T, so be it. JB always lands long too because they don't use reverse hehe.

I see 32LT10 decided to spend another 10 bucks and come back as MRRETARDO - oops- MRFLYER.....

Well TED has improved the bottom line but that is not what you want to hear now is it. TED has been successful in what it was set out to do and has grown within UAL. We get paid the same no matter what color the plane is painted. The only difference is the TED people are a bit like the B6 crowd.......well you know not that polished and more along the lines of maw and pa kettle.

One thing about TED is that pax are protected. At B6 they might as well be hitchhiking when the flow starts at ORD.

"Don't use reverse" What on earth are you talking about? I would encourage you to not use reverse on 22R at ORD. Also make sure your ALPA Loss of License insurance is paid, oh that is right you don't have that option.

waaa waaa waaa.

I fly airplanes, but have the social skills of a mole.

peace be among you.

....mmmh NO. Your management cutting your pay and benefits has improved the bottom line!

Ouch that must hurt......
