Most don't. I find it a necessary progression by UCH. Since sUAL parked all their guppies to get the merger done, now they have to get them back in the sUAL domiciles to optimize the flying. 3,2,1 attack.....

I have to agree it would be kinda "crappy" to open another S-CAL base in an S-UAL domicile. We are "one company" now and SLI done soon. (6-9 more months more likely) I could make out like a bandit and bid the 756 in LAX but is that really fair to my UAL brothers (and sisters...it is UAL after all)
Why not get SLI done first then bid, bid, bid, away!!!

The UAL pilots have already established lives in the UAL bases so why move to NY or IAH to fly something we can fly already? The pilots who bid theses bases were mostly Texas commuters looking for an easier commute.

Shhhhhhhhhh. Don't tell anyone. That way after they are done parking all of the UAL nanobuses, we can do our next merger in 2 years with AMR since they have a huge order. I can't get my eyes to roll back in my head far enough.

Why did "we" vote in this contract with no provisions for base and aircraft protections? We did "we" vote to give UAL pilots a larger retro check? Why did "we" vote to screw up the best trip trading system in the industry? None of this is fair either but there it is. We have moved past that; I see us moving past this as well.

The L-CAL pilots have already established lives in the former L-CAL bases (LAX/DEN), so why move to Southern CA or DEN to fly something we can fly already...especially when some have already "established" there (years ago) in "former" operated L-CAL bases prior to their closing? The pilots who bid theses bases were mostly Calif & DEN commuters looking for an easier commute.

^^^In those words^^^, it can also be construed as such.......

Have you noticed the Continental hangar in DEN halfway down 16L?

Almost 3 hours, I thought it would be quicker.
