CAL 8th best company to work for!

[IAHERJ]

SFR... The sad thing is you always worked for a crap airlines and you don't know any better! Cal sucks... At Express, I had better work rules and had a better quality of life and made more money... I am on 4th year pay and I still made more at express... 5th year will be different... If you were sitting Reserve at DAL you would be making $16 more an hour and you would have a better quality of life and still be sitting at home not working!

Cal 5th year 756 FO blended rate(for sitting reserve as you say)=$100.50 an hour.

DAL 5th year 756(they don't blend that I know of) according to Airline Pilot Central is $101.00. Where am I missing the $16 bucks an hour? You want to be at Express, you should apply when they get the 350 pilots back and start to hire.

Exactly, in addition to that I don't know any 5th year pilots at DAL because they don't exist. Everyone always says it is apples and apples, but they forget that CAL hired in 2005 and DAL started in 2007.

Are you a son of a scab? That would explain alot.

If it is such a great place then why do new hire pilots have no insurance for the first six months. Bottom of the majors in terms of pay .

Don't get me wrong, many things need fixing, but you have no clue what you are talking about.

For the most part same a Delta and AA, more then united and Usair.

Are you fat? If you are then I understand that. If not, you are nuts.

Lets see, I sit around by Lake Conroe, go out on the boat a bit and wait for the phone to ring. Play golf a lot if I want to, or go ro Rio 24 in the Woodlands and walk the river with a cigar in my mouth, all while sitting reserve.

Yeah, I think you are better off in CLE or EWR for sure!HA

No, but did you PFT? If so, your opinion does not count.

Wow. Here is where the CA steps up and refuses to take the flight until they put an IRO on.

We have had similar incidents here at AA... Case in point, back when JFK-EZE was a 767 leaving at 22:10, it would sometimes get delayed for hours... I have heard about some CAs requesting a 4th IRO (it only has 3 pilots normally) due to the fatigue issue... and they did not depart until it was granted.

A few summers ago some genius bean counters decided to block DFW-HNL at just under 8:00 in order to eliminate the IRO... guess how? That's right, by planning the flight at FL240 and M.84!!! Suffice it to say that the CA on that first flight caused a ruckus at the gate, suits everywhere, until an IRO was accomodated. That put a stop to that real quick.

Captains, be captains! CAL pilots, fight the good fight, we are counting on you as much as you are on us.
