Thread: Working second jobs?

Looking at today's economy, the airlines isn't the only thing that is deemed unstable. In fact, we have profited substantially in the past couple of years since our merger while other buisnesses have layed off or closed down. We have enjoyed stability with our airlines of CAL prior to the merger, and don't forsee much change under the merger with UAL. After 9/11 it got a little hairy but it picked up once again. People need to travel for a healthy economy. UAL announced that they were shutting down CARGO department. That's a done deal by the end of this month. Stability for cargo came on the negative side for them suddenly. Cargo people get to have bumping rights to the ramp which sent a few shock waves to the ramp side as well. UAL will farm out, (Outsource) cargo to outside bidders I assume. So some people have 20 plus years working in cargo, and suddenly, they have to either retire, quit, look for another job or try to use bumping rights to the ramp. Sounds alot to what happens in everyday buisness America.

Thanks guys. I'll be playing it by year (ear?) as soon as I'm in the door.
