UAL Nears Merger Partner Choice

[SmoothRide]

Tilton HAS to go! While the employees ultimately have few tools, I think it is past time for UAL Union Coalition to state publicly that he has to go for the good of the company (financial results speak for themselves) and put out a full page add in numerous national newspapers stating so. Call it a no confidence vote. I think it entirely possible that CAL might have backed out of the merger when Tilton persisted in having an active management role in the contemplated combined airline - even after 1Q UA results were released. He wants the power & the $$$ and won't go quietly on his own! Somebody needs to kick him out!

Apart from pressure of UAL's financiers and/or shareholders, the UAL BOD is probably the only mechanism that can show him the door. The BOD and the public needs to know his is not respected by the employees. CO is a vastly better run airline - and a better choice than LCC. To join up with LCC just so Glenn can score (another) one for his bank account or feed his monumental ego, is not in the best interests of the employees, the traveling public or the shareholders. As long as he is around, he (and his team) will be always looking for the next scoring opportunity rather than running a world class airline - like it should be!

So if and when this debacle of a merger goes through.....you would end up with the likes of Doogie Parker and Scott Kirby...one who likes to drink and drive and one who...well he has his problems also. I like to think of DP as the Anti Christ of the aviation industry. If you have to let your aircraft fly around with more then it's share of inop's in the cabin...just so you don't have to spend the money....so it looks like you have cash on hand....well that tells me they...USA...are playing an Enron game. And we all know what happened there. The LAST thing you want is DP as your CEO and that goes for his cronies too. h34r:

Well it looks like there aren't too many Girls left at the dance, and it's getting near closing time. After a few more cool ones, that LCC babe is starting to look good.....

Yea, but when you wake up in the morning and realize you've been sleeping with your arm under the fugly LCC girl wearing nothing but a yellow USAPA lanyard, you're going get out of there by chewing your own arm off to keep from waking her up.

That only works if you weren't too loaded, and got hitched in Vegas the night before...........
All kidding aside, UA isn't looking much more attractive than LCC nowadays either, sad but very true. Bigger Airline, bigger mess, bigger losses.
