Cal management has now moved further into the contract playbook with it's latest memo. According to the GUM CPO, there is now a good chance for a MAY system bid. While no information has been given, it would seem to follow right along with their previous attempts to lower the pilots groups expectations for contect 08. See thread

This latest memo was comes on the heels of the memo that VRF, voluntary reduced flying, would be available for all bases, all aircraft, and all seats for the MAY bid.
I fully expect the bid to have CAL parking multiple aircraft, the reduction of required captains in each base and aircraft, and the threat of furloughs. While the bid is nothing more than a page from the "gloom and doom" management handbook, I would expect that the possibility of future growth becoming "nil" for the foreseeable future (excluding intl). We continue to take new aircraft at the rate of 2-3 a month and will see an increase in the removal of older aircraft like the 737-500 and -300.
The BS is starting to flow like cheap wine............
