The above info was told to me by members of the JNC. Remember reserve guarantee goes from 76 to 73 hours per month. After two (I believe don't have contract in front of me) short calls all subsequent short calls add one hour to guarantee if you don't fly. Short call can be aggressively picked...
Reserve sucks today. When all new CBA provisions turn on joint CMS (around first of year) reserve will be much better. With everyone starting out on long call 13 hours to push. A true FIFO system (so those junior will not get extra flying due to not always being top if call out list- much...
We are really short. If you volunteer to pick up additional flying on a day you were not scheduled to work you get double pay (200%) for the entire trip.
So as an example an FO who makes $120 per hour picks up a five hour one day trip. Normally it would pay $600 ($120 times 5 hours) now it...
I agree 100%. Unfortunately that is what our management is doing. Thus not wasting negotiating capital pushing up a rate for a 757 that's leaving and being replaced by a 737-900 when the money could be better spent elsewhere in the JCBA.
PS I've been a 756 CA for five years. 757/767 is a...
Yes I do fly the line. I have flown a full line of time the last four years in my position and represented one of the largest bases in ALPA. Only the last three months due to the ALPA BOD, numerous MEC meetings (basically non stop) associated with the TA and crew room duty the last month have...
The first time the CAL MEC saw LOA 25 was when the TA book was handed to us. The CAL MEC had zero knowledge of anything relating to that LOA until we read the TA. That LOA was created by the entire JNC (half of your guys).
As far as the inappropriate comment about the CAL MEC. As a 1987...
Our MEC was briefed we are hiring 72 a month indefinitely. They have already had some in class as new hires that just interviewed in addition to those who were hired at CAL and UAL and put into a pool when both carriers stopped hiring after the last hiring period.

Completely ignorant. The reason our PBS sucked during contract 02 had nothing to do with our PBS program. It had everything to so with no work rules, no rule set for the program to follow. Our PBS program is superior to what UAL currently uses. Their work rules and rule set far exceeded ours...
Today is Thursday, December 13, 2012 and we have one item for your review.
Item 1: Message from the Chairman - Eyes Wide Open
By now, everyone has had ample opportunity to dissect the T/A, by reading all the Crews News, by studying the contents of www.unitedpilotagreement.com, by...
Work Rules
CAL C'02 resulted in extremely onerous concessions to Work Rules and Scheduling. Chronic, often severe understaffing has combined with inadequate contractual provisions, to result in unsatisfactory quality of life for many, if not most CAL pilots, most of the time. Inadequate...
Compensation
Another cornerstone of the contract is Compensation. The TA provides initial hourly pay rate increases of 12 percent to 22 percent at Date of Signing, and eventual hourly pay rate increases of 32 percent to 44 percent, for all current equipment types except the 767-200's, which...
Today is Wednesday, November 21, 2012 and there is one item for your review.
Item One: Tentative Agreement Pro Statement
The following is a reprint of the Tentative Agreement Pro Statement published earlier today by the majority of the CAL MEC Status Representatives who voted in favor of...
As a member of the CAL MEC, I take offense to your statement. I can tell you that your statement we are a tool for management is completely false. We will not sell anyone out!
Our MEC is unified and working together better then anytime in our recent history. How about we allow our...
