How I got hired at CAL, the good ole days....

If it's any consolation, I heard Lorenzo couldn't afford his usual hooker because he was paying the scabs so much. He had to rent a cheaper one and got a bad case of crabs.

I didn't know under-aged boys had the crabs?

Maybe they went to the beach at the Neverland Ranch first...

Well, with a cheap hooker what did he expect, Lobster?

I seem to remember 43,000 was capt pay back then, not new hire pay.

True and if you didn't like it you could go elsewhere.

If you were a military pilot and sent a resume to CAL in mid 80 you will be given class dates to choose from without any interview.

It is a crappy place, that never attracted good people. Never cared to. Spineless pilots don't demand much and don't mind flying up to 88 hours with regular junior manning.

Point taken but begs the question, and another thread that, who decides how much flying per month is too much? Is it 60, 70 80, 50, ????

Each pilot group thru their own representation.

Each property is unique with its own culture and history. Having a central "council" decide what is best for each, is not workable....

It was scab captain pay. Hope their fellow pilots let them know how much his help was appreciated at that difficult time for the strikers.
