No Military for CAL?

[THEPRFCT10]

Has anyone heard a rumor that Continental isn't hiring Guard or Reserve guys now because of the threat of military leave?

Oh no, CAL wouldn't not hire them because they are in the Guard/Reserves. That would be illegal. They may not hire them for some other reason, but not that one.

There were three Military reserve pilots in my class at CAL, plus many in the classes ahead and behind mine.??

A dude from our unit went to CAL a few months back. Not sure where the rumor came from but I don't buy it.

I hope that is not the case with CAL. I dont see how they would be able to get away with it.

There is a current issue going on at SWA involving discrimination of Reservists/Guardsmen, but I've heard nothing about CAL.

Not true from what I can tell. 12 new hires in my class and 4 were military (1 AF, 1 USMC, 2 USN). And one of my friends in a C-130 Guard unit was just hired and another friend in a C-5 unit has an interview. I also know of an F-16 Guard guy who has an interview.

I have heard some rumblings that CAL is not happy with excessive mil leave usage. Apparently it is enough to affect their manning. A buddy of mine just interviewed and the mil leave issue came up. He was not hired. 3 in my squadron have been hired in the last year, however.

I think they can easily get away with it, they can always come up with a reason not to hire someone. I don't think they could get away with not hiring any reservists, but they can certainly be more "selective". Hopefully this is not the case.

What is the rumor about SWA and reserves? I am sure it is just someone who messed up and another who did not get the job and are blaming it on that. I just interviewed. Just curious what the deal is?
