I think our MEC would have settled for less had the USAir acquistion not been a factor.pilotyip said:Is not that when the UAL pilot group got the industry leading contract that was going to take UAL pilots to nirvana land of the $350K to $400K/yr pay scale. Are you saying that he was wrong to approve the contract?
Let's look at some other fun stuff going on while Big Jim was at the helm:
1. Avolar
2. USAir acquisition
3. Investing in internet companies
4. Changing the strategy of the Shuttle
I'm sure there are other money losing schemes that were hatched up by UAL management during this time. Maybe someone else could post some more examples.
Why is it that Northwest and Continental (both so called "legacy" carriers) are not in the dire straits that UAL seems to be in now?
