UAL 747-400 Parked in Mojave Desert!

Why push a merger? That's my question. Just run your airline as best you can and get on down the road without trying to sell yourself.

Because Glenn Tilton and the BOD just want to cash out UAL! Isn't obvious with all the potential UAL has that they just don't care?? Glenn should go down in history with Frank Lorenzo.

It sure would be nice to give Tilton a swift kick in the jimmy. "That one is for ship #8196!"

They are parking 6-8 747's....and you think they are going to part out the company?

I would be more concerned if they started selling off the asia routes.

What's the difference if you're selling the planes that you have that fly the Asian routes?

I wonder how many pilots would end up on the street total with a CAL/UAL merger any ideas?

Always enjoyed seen UAL 744 in HKG.
All the best for UAL crews.

The furloughs are going to happen before the merger, those that are being furloughed now will be furloughed until the merger if there will be one, and that is a big if.

Where's my 44 magnum??? Glenn where did you go?

I was just looking at the additional orders CAL has for 777's and both companies as we all know, have them. United is not getting rid of all the 747's, they announced parking 6... not sure of the number they own. I do believe the 777 can make it to Asia too.

That airplane won't stay in the desert. Probably be UAL that pulls it out. Even after the 6 or 8 744s get parked I think they still have 2 dozen+ flying.
