Unless the new company is free of Tilton and his ilk, all at both companies are doomed to a slow painful death.

I can't believe you guys fall for this troll crap.

Sounds like they learned from the UAL pilots. How accurate is that career progression program you guys had in the late 90's?

 

[Yuppyguppy]

about as accurate as FREE AIRPLANES in the early part of this decade

:laugh:

Too funny. What's the 'expectation' of any pilot on the bottom half of the B6 list? Upgrade to 190 CAP in 12-15 years...if lucky? With nearly zero retirements in the next 10 years that's gonna be one slooow moving seniority list.

I want to punch this thread in the johnson.

Tiltons been shopping UA since he took over as CEO. It will be called CAL and I am sure that the UAL folks will be very happy...I mean, they will have jobs after all......:cartman:

Oh my goodness, please tell me that you don't actually think that President Obama is going to let an airline from his hometown of Chicago get bought by an airline from the hometown of George Bush (Republicans) do you? He will make sure that United is the one buying CAL for sure and the name stays United. I also heard CAL pilots getting date of hire at United too.

Also, President Obama is pro-union (United) whereas CAL is pretty much non-union, or might as well be. LOL

Obama doesn't give two sh!ts about the "union-ness" of a certain carrier. As far a he is concerned and knows they are both represented by the union that supported him. He's not going to side with a group within a group.

Also, I think after the Olympics support debacle, Obama is done sticking his neck out for the betterment of Chicago.

OMG, I just heard United is buying CAL and merging lists by DOH. Keeping United name too.

Also ExpressJet will finally be getting our flying back that CAL gave to Colgan. Finally!!!

And yes I did stay at a holiday inn express last night. LOL

OK Pocco, I think your first " I heard" just was announced 1 hour ago....UAL replacing United Express flying and using ExpressJet.

Will see about your other one about UAL buying CAL.....impressive young skywalker.....

 

[bluechunks]

I guess you didn't hear that ExpressJet is about to get a huge United contract.

No I didn't. I only heard about a fairly small United contract.

22 aircraft. Or in context, less than 10% of the ExpressJet fleet.

Huge? Not so much, particularly when compared to the 214 aircraft operated for CAL.
