My Uncle who retired from United with 34 years is Laughing his a$$ off reading this forum over my shoulder. He was there for the PanAm asset purchase. He made it clear that the pilots of that time called the B747-100 and 200 the Whale and the B747SP the Guppy.
He was in fact there for the B737 introduction and they called it then the FLUF.
He also has some interesting comments about Mid 90's new hires. Although nothing that everyone didn't already know that doesn't live under the mushroom of Mother United.
He still carries a picture of him walking a picket Line.

Interesting and of course I'm sure he commented on the mid 90's hires at CAL. You know the ones, the guys and girls who had been turned down everywhere else.
