I don't blame you. At least as far as the mess that Tilton created. Please keep in mind that most UA employees I talk to are not looking to take anyone's seniority or position, regardless of our size relative to yours. (Unlke another recent merger that created a civil war.)It would be pure hell having us being the smaller but much stronger carrier, trying to absorb UAL's mass numbers, and massive Tilton mess. I shutter at the thought...... :blink:

It's quite clear to everyone that your management team is far superior to ours, and we would be happy just having the security of someone running this place properly, and the benefits to both sides of better works rules and pay for all.
For example, a 767 F/O of my hire date, would be a 767 captain at CO. However I have absolutely no desire or expectation of that happening. I would be quite satisfied keeping my current relative position and seat, and slinging the gear for a captain at CO with far fewer years than me. Heck, paint all our airplanes with Continental colors, change my uniform, and get rid of UA's call sign for all I care. All I want is job security, reasonable career progression, more respect from management, better pay and work rules, a place for my furloughed comrades to return to eventually, and NO MORE GLEN TILTON! These are all attainable in a CO/UA merger.
The employees are not the problem. It is purely the management. With the right people at the helm, we could do great things together.
orIf hell breaks loose and we (Cal) decide to merge with UAL...
orWe at Continental...
orIs that the MAX allowed to fly in any given month at Us Airways? 105? I would die if that's all I could fly.

It's odd that a US employee would post things like:

Maybe s(he) just likes pulling people's chain...or doesn't work for US after all.

I have never worked for US Airways

The last thing I want is to finally be at a semi-stable airline
I would rather someone spend a few bucks on a ID90 or ZED if they can't get a seat.
