Like the free ride our little illegal neighbors are taking in this country, UAL is using politics to bleed the tax payer for everything they can. Ironically, the ones who ultimately pay the price are the college educated, the servicemen fighting for freedom, and every other decent hardworking American.

Do recalled pilots keep their longevity for pay purposes? Or does someone who was furloughed their first year at UAL go back to $30/hr?
UAL will rise again!
GogglesPisano said:What exactly is UAL getting from the taxpayer? More specifically, what did they get that any other airline didn't?
Comair, Mesaba, Pinnacle, NWA, AA, and possibly even MESA are furloghing. Delta has over 500 pilots on furlough with no recalls. Usairways has 1900 furloughed and is probably furloughing more as they park more aircraft. United is a long way from hiring off the street. CAL is the only major hiring. I hardly call it a hiring boom.

1. A judge on the take.
2. A pass to pay their outstanding bills at LAX, SFO, DIA and ORD.
3. The privilege of self-looting by senior management.
All of which is ultimately passed on to hardworking consumers.
Shall I continue?

SWIMMING IN LAKE MICHIGAN WITH CEMENT SHOES IS NOT MY IDEA OF A GOOD TIME.
How many taxes and fees did the legacy carriers like UAL pay over many years that allowed facilities like the ones you mentioned to grow and prosper in the first place?
LOT'S AND LOT'S.
Speaking of looting, how about the UAL-looting Captain X scab that started your operation?
