Thanks for listing your resume in your profile.

I however only have listed Boeing as that is all you need to know.

Ask me a technical Boeing question if you want to verify my credibility.

Give me a break. I put it out there who I work for. You refuse to do so because all you have ever done on this board is throw bombs. Did you not get hired at the airline you wanted to work for sweetheart? I'm sure you'll do well out there in the real world. Not wasting any more time arguing with someone who wants to "answer technical questions" about boeing aircraft to prove he works for a real airline. Guess what? There are a lot of scumbag airlines out there that operate Boeings. A lot of defunct airlines as well. Sorry you hate the fact that some young guys got on with CAL during the last hiring spree and you didn't. Enjoy XJT or wherever you are....Google might help you answer some Boeing 'Q's....
 
Anonymity is the name of the game at FI.com

You want to list your resume and personal info go for it.

And the reason you do not throw bombs is because you like CAL at is regional contract. Enjoy thinking you are getting paid to sit around as you sit reserve.

How many airport alert days did you spend in the crew room?

How many A days got converted to B? How many quick calls? How many day off in Europe did you get last year?

And why are you still sitting reserve after six years? Shouldn't you be a widebody captain by now?
 
IAHERJ is hoping CAL gets the 70 seat flying back so he can upgrade for the first time and get a PIC type instead of all the SIC types he lists.
 
Sit on reserve by choice about month a year.
Zero "A" converted to "B"
Zero days in crew room
Zero quick calls
Never sat in Europe on a reserve trip this year.
Will be a widebody captain when I get there. You, my friend, are nobody anymore. You are about as important to me as the guy who goes through my recycling bin every other week looking for something to might get him closer to a bottle of Wild Irish Rose at the store down the street. For someone who just has to remain completely anonymous, you sure have a beef with CAL. Why is that? Good luck going forward. Seriously. It must be tough....
 
I wonder how IAHERJ gets any experience being a cruise pilot?

Do you secretly pull out your fourth strip when the captain leaves and you are sitting in the cockpit with another FO? Then do you give the other guy the these are my switches and those are my switches if you want to do anything ask me first speech?
 
Don't have a single SIC type. Thanks though. They do still do that at XJT right? Do you have a pretty little EMB-145 sic type on your pretty little license now? Awweeee isn't that special...

Every time dude.....
 
And if you were flying domestic would you also show him your gun?

So is your big pay rate on reserve able to make your F250 payment, afford your double wide, and keep your teeth white doing a can of Skoal a day?

Ok jackhole, I'll play. It's been 11 months since I got pushed back onto reserve after mgt transferred 350 EWR pilot positions to IAH as retribution against our LEC reps for the Magenta Line. In these 11 months back on reserve, I've had 0 airport standbys, 3 quick calls, 2 rolled days (one I was home at 0130, like an extra day off. The other was a rolled availability day in which I wasn't used, and I spent it at the pool working on my tan), and only 2 months of over 50 hours of flying. I spent a whole 6-day reserve block at the end of August at the pool and got a heck of a tan. Not one international "day off". I've never made so much money for doing so little work before. And all this, under a POS abortion of a contract, on the worst B-scale in the industry, to make the same $ I made flying 90 hours a month with 12 days off at the industry leading regional with work rules vastly superior to what we currently have at CAL. POS '02 sucks, but it is temporary. There is no way in he11 a contract like this could ever pass again with the current CAL group, and especially with the UAL group whose captains don't need FOs to explain to them what work rules are.

BTW, I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned on this thread yet, but CAL pilots are not giving up scope! The recently announced flying is a blatant violation of our contract and I for one don't plan on going down without a fight.
 
Holy crap, there's like 10 new posts here. I really need to learn to type faster!

I made 10 K last month and had more days off than I ever had at your little airline where you try to act like a real airline pilot up to the point where 80% of your passengers are still waiting for their purses and handbags to be handed to them in the jetway because they can't fit in the overhead "slot"....

Only $10k last month? I made $11.5k last month at my little regional.
 
That was fun!! IAHERJ....don't let them get you all worked up. Jeff (yes we are on a first name basis now) thinks that since it is one company now he is not violating the contract. Time will tell. Arn't there 70 seat RJ's flying out of ORD with CO code share numbers???? Have been for a while now. No difference, we just have to concentrate on our JCBA scope issues! Have a good day, thanks for the entertainment.
 
IAHERJ said:
With all due respect; actually screw the respect....That piece of crap you fly is nothing like a DC-9. Do not even put the CRJ or ERJ in the same sentence as the DC-9 no matter what version we are talking about. The DC-9 was a mainline aircraft that was tough as sh%t. The "punks" are the backpack wearing, ipod sporting, gelled up hair dudes you most often find flying the RJ's. Some have moved on to mainline airlines and are slow to lose the "dude" look but that is what pisses off most mainline pilots. Sorry so many really great professional pilots flying at the regionals while they await mainline hiring have to be labeled as "punks" due to the actions of a growing minority of their peers.

Gelled up hair... Like the WWII guys? I guess they were allowed to... They had ladies painted on their planes... They HAD to look good!

Did you do this with no open time pickup, no waiving of vacation credit, and no waiving of DH credit?
Click to expand...

Picked up two advertised turns, not open time. No DH but I did have vacation. I did not waive any vacation credit and I bid all 3 weeks for 2011. I use vacation. Speaking of vacation, I'm in need of a vacation from Flightinfo.com. You guys enjoy the debating.
 
Well, I am hearing the 70 seat flights have been pulled from Continental employee reservation. They still might come up on the United website. These flights are in violation of our contract.


luckytohaveajob, if I was to guess, you work for Express? Why so afraid to mention who you work for? Depend on CAL for the jumpseat too much?

I agree with anonymity, but we are curious who you work for. Why so important you might ask? Well, you seem to flame a lot towards the CAL pilot group. Not in a professional way, but a hatred sort of tone. You generalize and you present misinformation. You don't like to play fair, and hide behind your keyboard. I guess, that is why you are so afraid.

So, what airline do you work for? I know, I know you are afraid to list your airline of employment.

Hey Harry, that is what my mid-month check is. The problem for you is, your's is all in pesos. Other than that, have a GREAT DAY pal, and enjoy your McDonalds lunch.

BID,

You guys have GOT to do something about this. Your new CEO is laughing right now at your MECs. I can't wait to hopefully hear some sort of response from them. Still waiting.....

Here is the response you were so desperately looking for. It was dated last Friday...

I look forward to writing a brief next week devoid of politics. I look forward to reporting on a week of work devoted solely to the advancement of our goals. Fly safe and have a good weekend.
One Union. One Voice.

CAL MEC Chairman
