LAX Crewbase for CAL?

[JI Gone OH]

I can't take credit for noticing this, but LAX 737 CA and LAX 737 FO are now options for your Standing System Bid. The rumors about an LA crew base have surfaced again recently, and know that there was a meeting yesterday between the system staffing committee and the company, so maybe it's actually true this time

True- I would guess mid '05 or earlier to hold it.

At UAL or CAL?

CAL, the chief pilot came into GSR friday and said that there would be a lax base. He said not rumor but fact.

I don't buy it. Sure, maybe its in CCS but 6 months ago we also had a system bid to award spots on an airplane that will never enter production. Don't believe it until your operating flights out of there.

We do. You mean start and end a pairing out of there.

 

[NavinRJohnson]

Yup its in our system bid. No firm numbers in there, just the option to choose it.

You could hold it now then lose it later after the seniority list gets solidified with UAL. Management could also reduce the base size after the integration and displace you that way as well.

I would hold off until the the debris cloud from this merger settles. If you live there or are highly mobile, maybe then go for it.

Anyone wanting to move their family or buy a house out there right away for this base would be crazy... Remember CAL lite.

The NWA pilots got an LAX base after the merger with DL, and there are plenty flying there now. (yes, they probably had a smaller LAX base 10 years ago, etc) I would assume you guys at CAL will have the chance for LAX or SFO in the future thanks to UAL.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Of course any new base wil be contingent on signing on the dotted line. What's that you want, mgt? DAL pay years 6-12, DAL complete lack of scope, CAL B-scale years 1-5, and CAL complete lack of work rules? Uh yeah, you can shove that new base, and did I mention FUPM? :angryfire

JI Gone, NavinRJohnson... you two sould like old ladies in a hair saloon- gossiping "oh wow, maybne it's true this time!!"
Look at the dates on that sys bid.. IT'S NOT A NEW BID- IT's an OLD bid from last summer (i would't be surprised if the company put it in there to inject some hope and quell the crowd down on the basis of "some hopeful news" here at CAL)..
You two and the rest of the sissys fell right into it..
Simply pathetic..

Hey genius, I didn't fall for anything and never stated that it was a "NEW" bid. All I pointed out was that the 2 categories are now listed as options for your standing system bid. The question mark on the thread title should have given you a clue.

 

[Instigator]

???? Huh?

The Transition and Process TA clearly says they can open a CAL 737 LAX base. Do you have any information otherwise?

 

[FlyForFood_NOT]

Ya i got a clue.. you're still gossiping like an old lady.. i see guys like you in the crew room all the time. Silly..

 

[100/hour/5y]

Cal sucks!!!!

 

[JI Gone OH]

Yeah, you've got it all figured out whiz kid. Since you have such a profound level of intellect, I suggest you submit your resume to fill that vacancy we have on the Negotiating Committee. I'm sure you'd be a welcome addition to the group. I mean, I'd probably consider applying for it myself and all, but you know... between work and sitting around the crew lounge with all my hair salon b*tches, I just don't have the time. Even with all that gossiping we do though, I still managed to find time to make it to a few of the rallies. Can you say the same?

 

[Ex737Driver]

Well, you also see me as well. Gonna piss on everyones parade, don't ya? Your a miserable dousche with a miserable life and you just have to bring it to someone else too. Positive news is just that, something good for a change. It ain't a new contract but its a step in the right direction to help the CLE pilots improve their quality of life and possibly open up some more flying.

I could give a sh!t less what you think: my point was IF it were true, I wouldn't jump in the LAX pool quite yet. Nothing is official yet anyways. Go masturbate on a keyboard somewhere else.

LAX is no longer a choice on the CCS standing bid screen.

How about a nice game of chess?

 

[NavinRJohnson]

Nice. I remember HAL. That's the second reference to
Space Odyssey I've heard today. Kinda weird.

I don't hold my breath for these things. I think management makes staffing and base decisions with tarot cards.

Wasn't that from War Games?
