      TO FLYHIGH.....JUST AN FYI...GUESS YOU HAVEN'T BEEN WITH CO TO LONG. YOUR PILOTS "LEFT' ALPA...AFTER YOUR STRIKE WAY BACK WHEN....( I HAVE CO PILOT FRIENDS) AND FORMED THEIR OWN UNION. WHEN WORD OF POSSIBLE MERGERS STARTED, THEY RE-ORGANIZED INTO ALPA.....AGAIN..... SO THEY WOULD BE ON THE SAME SENORITY LIST. i KNOW FOR A FACT THE 2 GROUPS HAD MERGER LIST DISCUSSIONS SOME TIME AGO.

      FLY SAFE!

      BACK AT YA, FlyHigh: I think you need to come down a couple of thousand feet because you missed the point. The comments were a comlpiment to all of you at CO. I often off-line on your flights and admire your crews attitude. United does not understand the ethic of treating employees well first and that, in turn, trickles down to the passengers. We have a lot of people here with a good attitutde that would have matched or equaled yours on day one had a merger taken place, despite our union. (It's actaully pretty weak)

      As far as "heavily unionized", it's interesting to note how quickly your pilot group re-joined the ALPA union when merger rumors first began two years ago. I also believe that all your other work groups are unionized in some form. P.S. Your former CEO, Beuthene, on CNBC two weeks ago said both carriers should merge and would have had he still been there.

      Happy flying!

      As a Chief Purser with United with more than 25 years service, let me say that it was a major disappointment to most flight attendants to learn of CO backing out of a merger deal. It would have been a "born again" breath of fresh air to have CO's inflight service management team replace ours. After all, it is the flight attendant crews that have the most interaction with the passengers and make the flight experience. United's basic philosphy is to beat it's crews into submission.

      Now we are left with the prospect of going to the prom with ugly Betty, AKA US Airways. The date nobody wants. God help us. I hope CO reconsiders. Regardless of who we merge with, both Glenn Tilton and Jack Brace have to go!
