Probe, just out of curiosity, what awesome work rules did you guys bring to the merger? The M5D for reserves is about all I can think of. 1 to 4 trip rig, we did have that in POS 02, however required a 27hr overnight. Please do tell what awesome rigs you guys had, that the mighty UAL alpa got for us.
I sure we could of had better work rules of we had your POS scope.

Having said that I can't and won't argue the damage scabs did in general to the CAL pilot group. But to make it seem like you guys came in and saved the day is BS pure and simple.

Nope. When they say jump, we should ask how high. Our hats should be worn with pride and every second not conducting required duties should be spent interacting with passengers. That will lead to big profits which the company will have no choice but to share with us, the pilots. You know, the pilots who are the leaders of the company and every co-worker looks up to.

Get with the times Lax and adjust your attitude.

You really should study the contract a bit more. There are LOTS of improvements to the LCAL work rules in there. Just look at this months "UPA next steps" for a small handful of them

You will be surprised who will cross a picket line if we ever strike. Some of the most vocal "scab haters" will be the first ones across since lots of them don't have skills to make other income.
Those scabs must have really wined and dined you on those layovers.

Isn't this thread supposed to be about the 8ball ceremony? I will probably be the youngest guy in class when I start and will most likely be the 8ball...oh well let's have fun with it...stupid cheesy traditions bring unity and fun to class...I for one will enjoy training since I know once I hit the line I get all the fun taken away listening to you guys ***** for 8 hours over the pond about crap 30 years ago...you guys really want to hitch come fly in the regionals again...that quiet the crowd...

Smack talking before seeing the property, thems is some huge b@!!s my man. My advice, once on the line, ears open, mouth closed. I am new and try my best to follow that same advice.
