There is a special place in hell for people like Hitler, Osama and Jeff Smallsack.

Good riddance to Crapinental I mean Continental. If only the Scabs, Friends of Fred, Good Old Boys Club, and Disgusting Management would vanish as well. This place needs a deep cleaning. Like a full on Starbucks venti quad shot espresso enema.

You are absolutely right, but Fred's horrid stamp has been thrown down on this merger. It's clear Smizsac was sold on keeping Fred around by promises to keep things horrible. As a CAL guy I'm flat out embarrassed that UAL guys are being force shoveled our 'train by click' culture.

15+ years later and we are still dealing with the legacy of People Express and Texas Air. This merger is giving that fossil the opportunity to promote the next generation of Fred's friends. Of course they are 'highly qualified'. Witness our new AC First Officers.

Yup, an absolute embarrassment! How many hours does she have? 5000 maybe?.... having never been a captain at any airline on any equipment.

I always knew that interns were promised jobs. But management jobs no less! Who knew?

I think it's great. Now I get to share our call sign with the same folks who were happy to fly EAL routes while we were on strike. As an added bonus at no extra charge I will get to share the call sign with the EAL "loyal employees" that CO was happy to hire. At least they have all been forgiven in the name of economics by my union. good grief.

$50 an hour to fly an E-190 (major). Dude, I would be stomping on those puppies, but would be very careful making fun of anybody else.

Yeah because you are/were setting the industry ablaze over there at AT with your rates.

 

[Secret Squirrel]

80% more than you make. 50% more than you made before this contract. 250% more when we snap up to our new rates because you asked. But you don't see me cruising this sight flinging poo at a great regional pilot group.

Yeah well be happy you don't have to sit next to them! Yet!

Damn I was hoping we would get a "Varney" call sign.

Right now my understanding is that flights will be ATC filed under UAxxxx instead of COxxxx and in the remarks will be Continental Livery if the aircraft is not yet painted in the UNITED font. The UA certificate is going bye bye while the CO certificate will be the surviving one.

Now exactly what time point the filings will be done, I do not know. I dont think the departures prior to 12z will be CO, but I will find out for sure tonight. Lots of questions out there still and no answers. Wonderful.

Interesting times indeed. Everything is going smoothly right? How were those printers working this morning in EWR guys?
