Re: United\'s Confidential Business Plan Here
[ QUOTE ]
Here's the thing I don't think you get: those airplanes are not going to disapear. They are going to be eaten up by other company's. Then they will need pilots to fly those planes, and they'll probably take those United pilots with the equipment. That means no job for you, and no job for me.

Call me hard headed but I still believe that us "rookies" will still have a fair shot at the Big Show even with UA pilots on the street.

Also, don't blame the pilots for managments mistakes. If you believe that pilots always have to go with managment then I imagine you'd say they shouldn't strike, like that Comair strike that happened a little while back when they would not go back to work for nearly 3 months. But don't you want to fly at a regional or a national instead of a major? Those guys certinally were not working with managment, but that strike was nessecary.

John,please....please don't say that the United pilots did not have a hand in the smoking hole known as United Airlines:2003. I'm not saying that they are totally to blame but come on,they were hand in hand with mangement to create this mess. The CMR pilots had a totally different situation. Would you want to fly a CRJ with a starting pay of 18k with substanderd benifits and retirement pay? Didn't think so. When CMR management would'nt listen to their demands,the pilots walked. I'm not saying that you should be a mangement "yes" man but when your company is teetering on the edge of solvency,full pay until the last day should be your last concern. Your also right John....I want nothing to do with a major airline job (and I don't want to disuade anyone who wants one). If I retire after 25-30 years at Comair,CoEx,Southwest,or JetBlue.....I'll retire a very happy man.

I wouldn't let your views out during an interview 737_Dude, because it's people like Doug that will interview you for your job, and you can see where he stands.

John....I'm really not a bad guy. Yeah maybe a little too harsh,but that's because I deal with NYC passengers 5 days a week!
I really don't want to see anymore people furloughed but if it's at the expense of my friends at US,CO,F9,B6,FL,and SW....then I'm sorry to say
in a really bad british accent) United...you are the weakest link,Good Bye!
