I thought hiring was on hold after the age 65 rule came into effect? I have a few friends there and last time I talked to them they really liked CAL and the relatively short upgrade times (but this was before age 65)... Nice fleet with 787s in a few years...

I got hired just about a year ago and only have 55 hours in my sick bank. I haven't banged in sick yet so I am relatively sure the company doesn't give you 20-25 hours of sick bank off the bat.

Yes they do.

AWACoff,

You get 20 hours sick bank right off the bat and 5 hours per month.

You get 20hrs sick bank initially, but do not accue any for 4 months. Also, reserve is 12 days off.

Hiring back to 12 a week.

There are plenty of cool overnights on the 737 out of IAH. Long layovers in ANC in the Summer as well as Calgary and many, and I mean many south of the border layovers. Some layovers are in excess of 31 hours. Not like the 757/767 where in the Winter months you can have 72 hour layovers in Europe then turn around the next week and have a 24 hour layover in Aruba. If you are not into being too productive, then the 757 out of EWR is where you want to be to see the world.
