    United Start Pay and Bases

    Is SFO junior due to the cost of living? I gotta admit that I thought that base would be one of the senior ones.

    Weak L-UAL pilots

    I know it doesn't mean much to you but as a CAL pilot, I can say that you shouldn't take that group as representative of the rest of us. It's really embarrassing to be associated with them (if it's true). My vote is in as "against" ratification because I believe that we can get a better TA. My...

    An Incredible Letter by UAL LC 27 Chairman November 26, 2012

    I think his message is good although I'm not sure that it's "incredible." This TA falls short in areas that I think is possible to tune up (tighter contract language, pay to at least match Delta's, retro pay that doesn't reward delayed negotiations, etc.) so I'm going to vote accordingly.

    Cal mec jcba ta pro statement

    LEC 153 seems to be in touch with the majority of pilots that I've spoken to. At CAL, we have a history of taking the first offer that's presented to us. For once I'd like to see our group have some self-esteem and save the "yes" vote for a more appropriate TA.

    Weak L-UAL pilots

    I think I missed something. Let me get this straight, Fred is egging people on to vote against this contract? I agree with chppr5 on "voting on the merits of this contract." As far as the perceived "seat grab" that some UAL pilots think that the CAL guys are after, I can hold captain now but am...

    Ual hiring discussion

    Actually Rattler is right. I remember getting bypassed on the 777 bid and seeing new hires going right into it. This happened in '06 to early '07.

    CAL management just said POUND SAND

    I'd rather walk out of this job on my own terms. If I don't go on strike (when it's called for), then I'll get outsourced. The decision to go on strike is an easy one in my book.

    UAL MEC tough stance on Scope---keep it up!

    You need to bump that up to 51% for it to matter. Jmho.

    Why is it that CAL hired the best pilots?

    Are you sure she's pregnant? Houston has a lot of weight-loss challenged people...

    CAL recalls when???

    Ten to eleven days off in the 756 for July. And that's what those of us who are around the fifty percent bidding seniority are getting. We'll need more than the 147 to end this bs.

    No one but pilots go through security

    That was one where a diligent passenger noticed. It makes you wonder what slips by un-noticed. I know of a flight attendant who forgot about a gun in her bag. It made it through the x-ray machine.

    CO jumpseat phone number?

    Hey, that's better treatment than if you're an employee. The impression that I get is that they only hire people who hate people as gate agents. At IAH, my experience is that they're 90% nasty. At EWR, it's 50%. Ymmv.

    Just like a soap opera - the next installment of the Magenta Line

    We have flight attendants who are stealing pilot room upgrades. There's more to it than that but I'm typing from my phone.

    CAL CEO Overrides EWR CAL CP Fred Stankovich RE EWR/NRT FLU CREW

    I wish that were true. This is the fruit of our EWR reps who as far as I'm concerned are the true leaders of our union. Jayson, Tara, and Kaye have done a lot to re-ignite the pilot group. It's a shame that our other base reps don't seem to have the passion or ability to do the same. Through...

    An article that is a must read!!

    +1 Man, that Marine story is unbelievable! For those who are offended by the FUPM acronym being tossed around, I'd just like to say that I find actions like the one from the Red Coat way more offensive. Absolutely disgraceful!

    787

    I've heard that the floor beams kept getting destroyed during gear retractions. They had to redesign it resulting in a huge weight increase that negates a lot of range capabilities. At the moment, it can't do Newark to Hong Kong non-stop.

    Continental Actually furoughs.. this sucks

    I think he's saying that you need to "walk a mile in his shoes" before making any assumptions. Many of the X-Jetters that I've spoken with have told me how X-Jet has better work rules than CAL. Keep that in mind for reference when you hear CAL pilots "whine." As ATRCA is one of the guys being...

    Continental Actually furoughs.. this sucks

    It won't save money. The furloughs are an attempt by management to get CAL pilots to cave on our scope. CAL is paying for a frikkin' parking lot at a Florida airport for one exec that costs about the same as what the furloughees would have made in a year. This isn't about cost savings, no...

    TV preacher's wife is sued. Any at CAL know the real skinny???

    What is so bad about CAL?

    I think you missed the part where he said that he's in the 777. It's a totally different CAL experience than the other fleets. I certainly am not in favor of PBS, but it's definitely not as painful in the 777. Jmho.
