I don't think CAL will get a good contract because all of the you-know-whos (scabs) won't have to retire now thanks to the AGE65 rule. They will vote in another crappy contract.
Plus all the guys on furlough doesn't help either, and one more thing is the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT we are hearing about here at XJT that CAL is going to open up new bases in return for scope clause eases.
Then XJT will get the 70-90 seaters and CAL pilots will get a Florida and California base.
That's my predictions, and yes, I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night actually...LOL
BTW, I am still glad that I stayed here at XJT instead of going to CAL.
If we get the west coast and FL bases, it's because of the JV with United and because the company found it financially feasible. BTW it looks like that is going to happen like it or not.
I can see you are craving for scope clause relief, you worried about flying a 50 seat jet for the rest of your career??? It is ok don't need to answer.
and yes, I am also glad you stayed at XJT, regardless of who decided that.
