when will UAL and USair Die!!

[axman]

Let dead dogs lies, been there done it. Let Soutwest, and Jetblue put them to rest. for the last time.!!

 

[100LL... Again!]

If UAL goes under, expect at least a temporary reprieve for USAir.

 

[TheDonger]

Every dog has their day. Pretty pathetic that you wish fellow aviators to be out of work.

 

[ThisistheDream]

I dont think UAL , USair or any legacy carrier is going anywhere. Why should they when airline MGTS has them in a perfect situation to erode years of contracts and pensions in chptr 11, of employees who have worked hard to get them. The longer these Chptr 11 airlines stay in business the more and more the employees will have to give or be forced to give concession and lose retirement, all while bringing the contracts down of the other airlines that are not in chptr 11 but close. The Gov't doesnt want them to go under then you will have hundreds of thousands now unemployed and needing Gov't money in unemployment benefits. I see this spiral to continue downward until most airlines contracts are worthless and comparable to what they where 20 years ago. Then after that hapeens, in a huge coincidence the airlines will then start making money. Time to put a stop to this now

 

[ThisistheDream]

it wont be long before the likes of Jetblue Airtran start taking some big concessions

 

[TheDonger]

It's time to put a stop to $29 airfares. I mean when you undercharge for a product the entire industry loses.

 

[100LL... Again!]

That's called price-fixing, and it is illegal. Unless just one airline does it, in which case it is called suicide.

 

[mamba20]

axman, your a real piece of work and an even bigger piece of $@#%. How could you wish for thousands of people to be out work? You'll reap what you sew eventually.

 

[100LL... Again!]

You reap what you sow, and sew what you rip.

 

[AAslag]

axman........been there done what?

 

[Wesb737fo]

I have to agree with the Donger,

Why do some guys wish for bad things to happen to USair, UAL. I know the reputation for UAL guys was not always stellar when it came to being gracious with the jumpseats, but I don't wish people with families on the street looking for work. Unless you are a scab or an a**hole, I generally wish all of you the best.


PS. No more yankee my crankee...the Donger needs food.

With all due respect, go piss up a rope. JetBlue, Southwest, United, and USAir only exist on paper as a corporation, unlike the men and women who work at each of the carriers. For someone who projects the experience that you do in your profile, you still just don't get it. Go crawl back under your rock.

 

[OffHot]

100LL, $29 fares are not price fixing. Matching fares is not price fixing. Calling one another and setting a price is price fixing.

 

[Yank McCobb]

axman,

What's a "DNC-7"?

 

[FirstMate]

Let dead dogs lies, been there done it. Let Soutwest, and Jetblue put them to rest. for the last time.!!

I smell smoke. This guy is a total flamer...yes, in more ways than one.

 

[Flash 7]

I agree with Axman,

Ch. 11 is ruining the Industry. Let the strong survive. That's capitalism.

United and Us Air F*%!ng Die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[stb]

So U and UAL dies...

what does that do to other pilots?

First there will be over 10,000 more pilots on the streets. Not just UAL and U pilots but Mesa, Air Wisc., CHQ, PSA, TSA, PDT etc.
If you think regional pilot contracts are bad now what would they look like with all the rj's parked and pilots on the street?
Then what about all the pilots with thousands of PIC time in A-320's and B-737's. Think its hard now to get an interview at SWA, JB,UPS,FedEx etc.
Most of the pilots at U and UAL currently do not have any idea about SWA or JetBlue's web site for hiring. See how quickly they learn about them when they have a pink slip in hand.


Just because an "airlines dies", doesn't mean the pilots die and leave the industry.

Exactly.........and what happens to all the airplanes? Yet another new upstart buys them and we have the same overcapacity as today?

 

[dakotaHC8]

Yeah, let the strong survive... Like say, ummmm Continental, yeah...!

No, wait a sec, geeze, CAL went through multiple bankruptcies too, before turning themselves around. Hmmm...

Gee, then there is America West, they too seem to have deserved to "live"

Huh, well, I guess I will stop listening to self-interested self centered types that think their poop is smell-free.

There in not a single network carrier out there right now that does not have serious issues. Flying boxes around is the only way to make a decent profit in aviation lately. fixing those issues will require A LOT more than just the failure of one or two competitors pal...

So put your high horse out to pasture, and look to something other than wishing another misfortune, only to improve your own.

 

[stb]

Bingo...

Exactly.........and what happens to all the airplanes? Yet another new upstart buys them and we have the same overcapacity as today?

Then what type of working conditions will be at the new up-starts?
Pilots will be dumping the lavs etc.

The race to the bottom will have a faster pace.

 

[machtuck]

its clear axman has never applied himself, done the pushups, and get a good job- to wish that upon anyone @ UA/USA....get a life

 

[Wiskey Driver]

I agree with Axman,

Ch. 11 is ruining the Industry. Let the strong survive. That's capitalism.

United and Us Air F*%!ng Die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must be planning to finish your career at the commuters!! Nothing wrong with that mind you, many do it and enjoy a great career flying turboprops and RJ's. If UAL goes tits up and we bail on AAA the market will be further flooded with qualified pilots with heavy jet time thereby guaranteeing you will remain at the commuter level.

Just a thought you may wish to consider if moving on is in your plans!!!!

WD.

 

[100LL... Again!]

The comment I made about piroce fixing is in answer to many who have suggested that the airlines just 'raise their prices' until they are profitable.

Suppose just one airline does this. The others will cackle with glee as they watch the brave airline go under. The only way to make it work would be to price-fix. Which is illegal.

We are watching a game of who can bleed the longest without dying. Soon, we will likely see at least one casualty.

 

[Tomct]

By the way it is....No more yankee my wankee....the Donger need food!
Get it right!
