If United pilots think they are going to use the more desirable bases thing in neg. then I want it also to be considered how quick our upgrades are. 2-3 years. Sorry I dont want a merger with an airline that is facing a 5 billion dollar note in 2012. If we have to merge no matter how smooth we want it to go, it will be a war.
Funny, UAL's reputation was fine when he applied.

You don't suppose Bigoober got a rejection letter from UAL?
No worries though; he should be starting with CAL soon. http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?p=1517084#post1517084
So I'm sure there's absolutely no prejudice in his post. uke:
Wow, Andy, amazing how soon this post came after we tell someone else to lighten up on the caffiene. Too bad your research skills only stop at the point that you are trying to make.
Bigoober (yep, me) didn't get a rejection letter from UAL or CAL but there is plenty of prejudice in my post all of which comes from my United friends. UAL is just fine because a job is a job (and I will still take it if needed, not because of reputation), and at the time, I could use the interview experience. Tons of great people, most who don't assume just because a post doesn't go their way. UAL just happened to be the first to call for an interview and offer, but due to the military I had to put the offer off until later.
The prejudice comes from having each UAL friend's input be to stay away from UAL and now how much they want to merge with CAL to get away from your management. If I remember right, you actually were one of those also- maybe not, don't have the urge to review your posts. Yes, only a handful of input, but it is what I have to go off of. None of it stems from the reputation of the pilots but that of your management that keeps me away not to mention that I want a Texas base.
Don't get me wrong, I know the tide can change, but I am not willing to take a chance on your management and what it has done to your product. Your input on here has been informative and level headed from the UAL front which is hard to find with us pilot types but you stepped on a turd on this one. Heck, in a couple of years post-merger, we'll probably be sitting down at the hotel bar, drinking a beer and talking about some ass who posted on this forum not knowing we are talking about each other!
Again, didn't mean to offend but this was a much more subdued statement than the stuff I hear from the UAL types.
Your opinion on UAL management may be consistent, but you are going down the path that I am talking about. UAL management is not well liked and that is what sets the tone for the entire airline. UALs reputation is sinking in the public's eyes because of the lack of investment in its own product (interiors, booking systems, age of aircraft). The stockholders may like it with their nice little dividend, but that doesn't help you guys out.
I just looked at your profile and you fit exactly what my bud's plans are- too stay mil leave as long as possible. I hear that UAL is having some problems with the numbers doing this. I don't blame you for waiting it out but again, I don't think my opinion was too far off.
Sorry I offended you and the other member. You won't have to worry about a jumpseat denial from me although I firmly believe that we will be with the same airline by the time I would ever make that call anyways
Again, the arbitrator is going to look at relative seniority.
