United buying CAL

[SMOE]

Ummm, never mind...

 

[taildragerpilot]

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

"our flying"

bwa ha ha ha ha!!!

Go see for yourself. I try to stay off of calforums.

Get a clue moron, there's ONE thread on Calforums regarding this rumor "leak" and it's pretty much a non-event. Whoopee. Troll.

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

Please don't feed the troll.

Go see for yourself. I try to stay off of calforums. My impression of that website is a bunch of little weenies with little weenies crying about how small their weenies are. LOL LOL LOL

but you don't stay off do you? If I was you my concern would be about the dying economics of a 50 seat RJ.

Whatever! Nerd.

I'd be worried if we were anchored to CAL forever, but United is a different story. Pretty soon CAL will get eaten up by United and we'll be working for real major airline.

See ya wouldn't wan ta be ya! LOL

I agree.

With all the retirements, CAL could be the most secure major out there. Also, there is a good chance that CAL will be the highest paid eventually with a new contract.

I hope to be there soon.

How things change once you get rejected.

UAL couldn't buy a dinner and a movie, how are they going to buy an entire airline? That place burns money faster than a scab running across a picket line in '83.

Looks like you threw the turd into the punchbowl before I could. I also have to ask...where is the money for this supposed purchase gonna come from?

 

[145BOSS]

I saw Tilton downtown Chicago the other day trying to raise money. He was behind a tree in Grant Park holding up a sign that said "Acquisition Tug Jobs $20"

Probably through a stock swap...like it normally happens....IE: DAL/NWA.

spoken like a true cal pilot................................

yyyaaaawwwwnnnnn

 

[IBNAV8R]

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

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

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.

 

[Booker]

I want to punch this thread in the johnson.

Most inaccurate then eh.

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
