The UAL board is telling pilots, US and UA to delay pushbacks, sick out, etc, etc, etc, to block the merger.

I realize you guys have been through a lot, honestly I do, but do you think that acting out in a very expensive way is going to help either carrier survive?

Isn't there some other way to conduct yourself that doesn't make my job at the gates a nightmare, stranding people all over the place, people who saved all year long for their disney vacation - - in the crapper..etc...) because you wanna drive a point home?

Isn't it obvious you guys don't wanna merge through your public statements?

Is it REALLY necessary to handle it this way, REALLY? Im not trying to be flame baitey here or whatever, but if you DO make your point that way and the carrier goes under, what will you have accomplished? Where are you going to work?

Honestly....this is getting absolutely rediculous.

For a 'seemingly' articulate individual, you may consider your inferences and then weigh your irrational exuberance with factual data.

Yea, I know it’s a stretch but we all have to hope…:p

Lighten up? Does anyone else around here think *I* need to lighten up? I'll go to the cornfield if I get any sillier.

no kidding...if you got any sillier you'd be worse than Floyd after he drinks too much crew juice and falls off the crew van while wearing Betty's heels.

Get real! One post mentioned something of the sort and that was, in my opinion, said with a wink. (Notice in the post that the author hoped LCC folks would do it first.) Don't try and label UA employees as on some sort of "self-destruct" mission.

Most of us at UAL understand that this process still has a long way to go before many will give it good odds at happening at all. None of us are panicking or losing sleep over this. Chill out and relax.

Cheers,

Companies usually deny merger rumors. Just last November Delta came out to dispell rumors of a merger with United.
Then when rumors came out of a Delta / NW merger there wasn't any denying.
What was the first sign of DL and NW merger was the pilots union came out and said "consolidation may be at our door."

Didn't we just hear something like that from UALs pilot union?

I don't want a merger but can't help but feel it is going to happen.

Right now I think they are going towards a merger and are ironing out any stumbling blocks that could get in the way.
Uncertainty is not good for the stock or the companies and I'm sure that some news is coming soon.

Surprised anyone gets satire anymore. :p

As much as we all hsve been kicked in the 'neither regions', If we don't get a sense of humor (with a tad of truth :p)
Then what is the point?

If 'WE' merge or not is mostly out of our control. We can play 'Huff-N-Puff' but our resolve has already been tested and 'WE' failed.

EOS... :down:

Today Jake Brace announced the choice of a name for the newly merged UA/US -- Yugoslavian Airlines with Marshall Tlton as the Supreme Leader. The only accepted paper tickets will bear the TED logo since there are warehouses full of 'em and it would cost too much to properly recycle the wastepaper.

"This UCT will result in $62 billion in unencumbered assets and cash, less the $61 billion that I and the consultants will take into exile with us as reward for retaining our talented executive skills during the long slide into bankruptcy and MBA-driven cost cutting that we've accomplished. Except for our new plush HQ downtown of course since that move greatly enhanced our product value" remarked Brace.

Judge Wedoff was unavailable for comment and thought to be attending a BK lawyers' golf weekend in Scotland.

The distraction and internal stress will continue until the fat lady sings. Aretha Franklin has been placed on retainer.
