Skybus or CAL

[Pocono Pilot]

Relatively quick upgrade and chance to get in at the ground floor with Skybus, or should I try again for CAL?

I call flame bait......:smash:

Look at his other posts, I believe you are correct. I thought he already turned down CAL, so why is he asking?

Actually, stay at XJT with the other morons who turned down a job with CAL.

 

[Dizel8]

Go to skybus, you should fit right in!

 

[BID]

flame bait, I would not listen to this guy.

In another thread he claims he turned down a job at CAL now he wants to try again?

Sounds like flame bait, I mean honestly, nobody can be this stupid. It has to be flame bait.

 

[sleeves]

I think you should try for CAL again. I am sure they would call you for an interview. I bet everyone in IAH is very excited that you have changed your mind. This will really turn things around for us. Maybe now UAL will give us the Shanghi rights.

I must say, you are persistent. :laugh:

 

[General Lee]

Use the callsign "Shame Train" at Skybus and be really enthusiastic, and make sure you also say "great day!!!" and the beginning and ending of every radio transmission like that annoying Jetblue guy.

Go to Guam and hang with the captains who go for the lady boys in Manila!

Yes, "persistently" (or should I say consistently) STUPID.

That's about all one can say. For what its worth.

DA

You don't deserve CAL if you already told them no. Please go to Skybus and enjoy flying people from Hazzard County (i.e., toothless and obese people who would normally take Greyhound) all around the country...

Don't expect any respect from the rest of the industry - you should have fun flying with a lot of former Go Jet pilots....

Talk about flaimbait....

 

[Skywriter70]

Don't want people like you who don't really want to work for the company... You will bring down what positive momentum and moral there is.. Try Skybus, and again, if you are serious about this whole crappy contract thing about CAL, have you bothered to look at Skybus. You really are clueless, they only have a first year pay of 65,000 posted. DO NOT EXPECT MORE!!!

Are you for real? You probably never got hired at CAL. I am sorry I wasted my time responding to you. I am glad however that you don't work for CAL.

Unbelievable.

How about getting yourself treated for SJS before you make any moves? The fact that you even ask such a question says volumes about your intelligence level, or lack thereof.


Since I'm sure you can't calculate the realities of a 65K/ yr paycheck, let me do it for you: approx $3,000/mo. net (taxes, health ins, 5% 401K contrib, including $400/ mo per diem.... wait, Skybus doesn't pay per diem). If you want to spend the next 30 years living on $3,000 a month take home, you'd better try working in another country becuase it won't cut the mustard for a family of 4 here in the USA.

 

[Skywriter70]

This guy can't be for real. This is the second time that a posting from this person has surfaced like this. It shows total disregard and lack of preparation/planning for his supposed chosen profession. I myself would be embarassed to even post a thread as such. Maybe we should let this individual get the job guys..... How far do you think he would get??? Can't wait to see him with PBS, or even equipment bids or domicile bids... I think it would actually be quite funny. He would lead a life of absolute misery. It would be funny to watch him self implode. Remember, bid what you want, want what you get. How does this person even leave the house in the morning. Oh yeah, a uniform is a set thing to wear, wait, hat or no hat??? Blazer or not blazer today??? I really do think it would be rather fun to watch the meltdown of someone so uninformed in this industry. Remember guys, there still is a side to this profession that is what you make it. Yes, managament, pay, work rules, etc aside... take a moment to enjoy what you do, and remember that there is always an available cubicle if you are that unhappy... Unity is strength however...

Well since you have to ask a quesiton like that I think Skybus would be a better fit for you

I flew a trip with the "Great Day" jacka$$ last month. He was one of the biggest a-holes I've ever flown with. We had a medical emergency and he ended up making one of the flight attendants cry he was such a putz. Granted, she boned things up. But he was screaming at her saying that he was the captain and if she didn't shape up, he was going to land the airplane if she wasn't up to the task. I know I was impressed. One of the longest 4-days of my life...

Use the callsign "Shame Train" at Skybus and be really enthusiastic, and make sure you also say "great day!!!" and the beginning and ending of every radio transmission like that annoying Jetblue guy.

Yup, another command decision maker?!?!?!?!?

You don't really sound like a command decision maker, Hopefully you fly with some sharp FO's to keep you afloat.... Seriously, you sound like you have "no clue......."

Sounds like the age 65 rule limit is about to be passed this week or next. Five more years with the strikebreakers at CAL huh? That ought to be fun. How many years now till you will get a good contract? 15? 20? We all know how the class of 83 operate down here in Houston.

No upgrade for you anytime soon. Low, low pay. Horrible contract/work rules. No ins. for new hires. Pretty lousy pilot bases.

CAL is once again the least desirable place to work from what I hear. Betcha the cream of the crop will be interviewing there soon. not.

And you criticize my decision making skillz? No clue, huh? LOL.

Man, you really are ignorant.

Good luck with your upcoming interviews, I'm sure Delta, FedEx and UPS are just fighting at the chance to bring your groundbreaking industry insight and professionalism to their pilot groups.

this describes Skybus perfectly. it does not describe CAL. but you wouldn't know - you're not at CAL. just another disgruntled XJT whiz-kid who skidded thru the interview process at Express and torments his/her co-workers on a daily basis. your banter is old and tired. just like you will be when you retire in your outdated RJ.

or go to Skybus. enjoy pulling in what i make as a 2nd year FO at CAL on the smallest equipment - all while tooting (or pulling) your own horn in the captain's seat.

i hope they make you wear an orange shirt to match the 'dipped in biohazard' plane you'll be trying to fly.

best of luck. the world needs idiots to make the rest of us shine. moron.

flamebait tastes good.

Hey I've Heard that guy before!!!! All the way across the country! If I was his fo i'd be pulling my hair out after listening to 'great day' for 4 hours straight.

another annoying one is a southwest guy who adopts an aweful, high pitch southern drawl whenever he says "souuuuuweeeeeeest 242 fl210...." then continues on in a non accented voice with the rest of his transmission. Where do these guys come from.

As for the original question i say go to Skybus. They've got tons of sweet new planes coming and you get to wear four stripes sooner and get based in CMH. Also you don't have to pay those pesky union dues.....! 60k is more than enough for any airline captain and i bet you get free beverages. go get em

Actually all of the scabs have been voted out of office and the new MEC officers take over in IAH this week.

But I wouldn't expect a clueless nut-hugger like yourself to know that.

Uh-huh.

Keep telling yourself that. And keep telling yourself things will finally change at CAL. And keep telling yourself that you made the right decision on where to spend your career.

I did. I get my choice of schedules, I fly widebodies all over the world and my company is doing great.

HAHA! Wow! CAL pilots never change and are truly clueless.

SJS (shiny jet syndrome) is alive and well there huh? As long as you can jerk gear in that jet all over the world, who cares about pay, QOL, dignity, and those other things that true airline pilots get, then so be it.

Have fun with the 83 hires till 2012.

Glad I passed on that job offer. I'll take Delta, FedEx, UPS, and maybe even Skybus over CAL any day.
