RUPA Skyscraper Luncheon --Wednesday June 18th ---Montclair Golf Club in West Orange NJ. More specifics to be sent out in May. Pete Sofman 203-322-0724

 

We have had requests for a repeat cruise for NY Skyscrapers.  My partners have allowed me to set aside 10 of 25 cabins on the Anacoluthe Impressionist Cruise on the River Seine for March 29. This cruise takes place mostly in April.  April in Paris is a very beautiful time.  The cost will be $900 per person which is $200 per person below the official interline rate.  If you are interested please call 1 866 850 2935.  Tell them this is the special RUPA price.  See details and itinerary at www.canalandco.com   --Ed DeChant

The NY pilot group spent more time with each other during the 70's than any other pilot group on UAL.  We were a small domicile and our seniority movement was non existent.  We got to know each other and developed relationships that took us beyond work.  It was a special time with some special memories.  At each luncheon I attend I can see the affection and warmth that you all have toward one another. Now that we are in retirement,  let's keep those relationships and memories going.

 This is your site.  Please take advantage of it.  We will publish anything a NY UAL pilot wishes so long as it is in good taste.   Your opinions, your complaints, your observations are welcome.  News of yourself and of your fellow pilots is especially requested.  Send us photos of your activities.  We have got lots of room on the website for all. 

Best wishes

Ed DeChant
