Cool

Hey, Donkey - I see thay you're persisting in trying to make an ass of yourself. You can stop now - you've succeeded!

As 411A has said in the past, UAL's problems are not just attributable to the pilot's greed but also to that of management. From what I've seen, there seemed to be a complete reality failure on the part of management and the pilots union (in particular) with regard to downsizing before the 11th September - they had got themselves into a macho micturating contest with American and Delta over who's the biggest and who pays their pilots the most - forgetting entirely about the majority of employees (who also happen to be shareholders in the company) who didn't receive anywhere near the same level of pay increases.

Skmarshal 1 - I believe these were UAL aircraft.

Ignition Override - probably both! Hopefully you'll be over here in the not too distant future and we can sup some 'heavy' together.
