A good attorney can make a case last a year, but a GREAT attorney can drag it out for three or more years. Unfortunately, we're working with a GREAT attorney. Our hands are tied by a 70 year old OUTDATED labor act, while management can do whatever they want NOW and we have to abide by it. Pathetic, isn't it?

That's what our merger committee chair tried to tell us at first. The problem is, there is absolutely no requirement for a JCAB or a JSLI to get a SOC. US Airways proved that. They were issued a SOC in 2007 and still do not have either a list or a contract. Who needs "synergies" when your pilot costs are this cheap?

Every summer the airline typically runs like crap. Unreasonable staffing plus T-Storms tosses a wrench into the works. From what the CAL guys have been saying, it's their norm too. Add to that a bunch of disaffected 63.5 year old dudes with tons of sick bank and things are bound to get stretched thin. So IMO, yes basically. and once again we'll get the blame for there being no one to park your plane, to load your bags, drive the tug, the jetbridge etc. It's pretty idiotic but that seems to be the method at UAL.
WRT summer of love, as far as I am concerned it's already begun. Plenty of peeps standing around with clipboards and neck ties though.

That said, I might be wrong so anyone that has a better answer feel free to correct this.
