CAL Junior manning!

[Bavarian Chef]

I'm never rested AND sober. It's one or the other.

 

[100/hour/5y]

Today, I tried trading my late UK trip tonight for an early AMS, 9 hours out....

ANSWER WAS NO, do to no reserves to cover my late show trip....

SO... I called back later and called in sick... FUPM

 

[BeachBummer]

I had my cell turned off, so they (crew services) called my house... they wanted to know where I was and asked if I could make a 5hr call out. No... because you are stupid to ask where I am.

Same circus different clowns.

JM at any airline is a voluntary event. Don't want to fly? Just tell them you aren't safe to fly because you recently had a beer or you stayed up too late last night. They can mark it down any way they want but there isn't a damn thing they can do about it. We are under no responsibility to be rested and sober 24/7 just in case they might call for a JM.

Sensible argument. The problem is that many in the prestigious CAL pilot group are either one or a combination of the following:

1) Greedy SOB's

2) Have no life outside of the job

3) Truly believe it's not the company's fault if there is weather. The
schedule has to be maintained at all costs.

4) Terrified of the repercussions of chief pilot harassment call

Thus 147 stay furloughed at the moment...

Would love to be able to be part of the solution. Please recall us soon, that way be can put this JMing issue to rest for a while.

Cheers

PS - Are they still saying recall in the next couple of weeks. Notice lots of new planes this month and next.

Didn't we recall 15 guys?

 

[Ex737Driver]

Just say no.

 

[Paul R. Smith]

Didn't we recall 15 guys?

ON PAPER...As a result the furlough mitigation measures went away.

Any furloughed fellas get a call yet?


...Didn't think so.

 

[nimtz]

Didn't we recall 15 guys?

Sure, but are they working right now?

What exactly does the above mean? I am unaware of any change as a result of the recall of 15 pilots. Nothing changes until all are recalled. We are nowhere near any limit at this time anyway. 40+ VRF's for iah 737 fo's in Aug.
