Yes, UAL is on a "deathwatch"; but, quite frankly, what did they expect. 3 years ago, it was all about what a great contract they got after a summer "slowdown", WOE 'em program, Max Safety,whatever you call a job action. I read it at the time and couldn't believe management (or what passes for management at UAL) signed it. The next quarter, the losses were piling up.
Down3Green: I take it your ex-EAL like me. It sure would be nice if ALPA would even try to work together among the councils, but NOOOOO!!! The DAL guys couldn't have been more arrogant, it they had tried. It was like GOD, himself, chose them to be airline pilots. Well, you got it right. But, then again, we didn't offer beans to the Braniff guys when we took over the South American routes and we got that back from the Sky Gods from DFW.
