Any news for CAL furloughees?

[CapnVegetto]

I don't know for sure, but my buddy feels pretty much certain that the furloughees will be back before the summer simply because he thinks there is no way in hell CAL will get through their summer schedule as short as they are.

Anyone know how many of our pilots decided not to take all of their vacation? We need to start posting names.

I have yet to hear a Captain say much of anything about the 147 or don't pick up open time. Just take a look at any given day how fast trips are picked up on both f/o and cap side. Love the excuses too, my dog had to goto the vet so I picked up this trip. F' that, seems that the scab legacy goes way beyond those with a letter at the end of their employee number.

The best thing about coex was the people, the worst thing about cal is the people. Time for this pilot group to stand up and grow a pair. Rant over.

The CAL people are great. You must be stupid. I have never flown with a better group. If people want to pick up open time, oh well. I don't because I am on reserve, and I would not if I had a line. That being said, I could care less if some pilot picks up open time. That is life! If you want fair you should choose a different job, planet, species.....

If you don't like CAL then quit. I don't care what you do. Go to DAL or something!

Really, Home Depot employees make $120K/ year in their 3rd year

Just currious what aircraft and how many hours a month does a CAL pilot have to fly to make $120K-year on the year 3 pay scale.

Exactly, I'm guessing it's another login for Poco. Don't believe anything that scab, bragging, idiot who tries only to piss off others.

Your other airline must have really sucked if you have never flown with a better pilot group. You should care if someone is picking up Open time, especially if you are on reserve or maybe you will be the next on the street. I would like you to tell my friend who is furloughed that it is ok to pick up open time. The way we give scabs a pass at this airline is ridiculous, the way we treat are furloughs is down right offensive.

I think SFR is on reserve by choice. And will not waver from the "got mine" mentality. And you can tell by line 2 of her post that she is not one of reason.

 

[SFR]

Yes, reserve by choice. I came from ASA. Same story there, lots of complainers. I had no complaints because it was a means to an end. I left Eagle for a quick upgrade there and that is it. Fellow ASAers (most of them PFT folks) would complain as they sit on reserve as 2nd year RJ captains while my classmates at Eagle were 4th year RJ FOs on reserve.

People thought I was crazy at ASA for saying that I was happy. I was called to do informational picketing in 2005 and said no for 2 reasons. 1) I think that was useless and 2) I was happy there loggin PIC while my Eagle folks still were loggin their 10,000th hour of SIC.

Interesting point brought up on CALforums today. The company can ADD hours to the LTVRF and VRF guys as necessary. Using that option, they will be able add misery to the schedules just to cover the lines and not recall us.

Translation: "F*ck you! I got mine, who's with me?"

That's the head-in-the-sand syndrome so many CAL pilots suffer from (like SFR): "Hey, my life is good, don't mess with it! And, no, I'm not going out of my way to help anyone else, and I don't care what goes on in the pilot group if it doesn't affect my pay!"

 

[SFR]

You better not mess with my reserve system. I don't care about the lines.

I better go, gotta meeting with a Super Scab today for my scab in training class. I am almost done with that class, take the final next week.

For anyone interested we have a mock picket line crossing at Greenspoint Mall on Jan 16th at 10am. We have hired actors to actually yell and throw spit. Should be a real blast.

SFR, your anti-union attitude is surprising and disappointing. Keep it up, I know who you are and what goes around comes around.

Hey thanks for that classy post in a thread trying to give furloughees information. If you could care less about guys getting on property, thats your choice to have the "i am so great to still have a job, i am better than all those morons who stayed at Eagle while i racked up my PIC time at ASA, I am so much better than all those idiots who got hired after me at CAL and got laid off" attitude, but don't rub it in my face. Keep your pathetic ideas to yourself or start a new thread on your "******************************bag" mentality regarding fellow aviators. Thanks in advance!
