We are having classes every week with no end in site. The business plan is 5-7% growth a year, that and half the pilot group retiring in the next 10 years things are going pretty good.
Now with the merger rumors, you will hear these all the time and don't base your career decisions on rumors. Nine times out of ten if you hear a rumor it probalby will not happen. When AA bought us at TWA nobody had a clue. I don't think CAL will merge with anybody unless they are forced to ie DAL/NW merge or something along those lines. If you want to come here it is a great place to be and when you are 60 you will know if you are right.

Good luck

FAs will ratify their [concessionary] contract next week and from there on it's smooooth sailing....











...until they run out of money at the end of the year and another round of concessions starts or

...they get stapled to the bottom of the UAL list, below those still on furlough.

Class sizes to shrink. 8-12 a week for the next few months. Bulk of hiring to come at the end of the year...............

Don't mergers/acquisitions have to be voted on and approved by NWA? Since NWA owned much of CAL stock in the early years and had to sell their shares because of govt anti-trust laws.

Northwest only retains veto power over someone trying to acquire Continental, they have no say over Continental attempting to acquire someone else. They have referred to this in the past as the "golden share."
