Gracias for the post (practice for SJU). Sorry to hear about the bump, are you coming back to EWR?

Once my lease ends here in H-Town, yep, back to EWR....can't wait. No more busses and stairs in EWR. We're actually fully integrated into the CAL operation at EWR as of a few days ago. 777 one jetway....ERJ on the next...737 on the next one, etc. New crew room, underneath the food court!

I got my first hour in a Bonanza the other day. I had heard all the hype previously but now I know it to be true. That is the sweetest flying single I have ever flown. Crisp, and snappy, both in roll and pitch. And oh how smooth.......grr, since I can't afford one, does good old Patton C still have his?

Well, we're sort of integrated at JFK - we can see the terminal and the B777s through the dust from the far side of our construction area, but it's like that old New England saying - "can't get theyuh from heyah..."

Anyway, they don't let us get too close to the other planes here in "the land of the giants" or else we get mistaken for a Swedish wheel chock.

PS - we don't call 'em busses anymore - it's "premium motor coach service" to the terminal.

BluDevAv8tr,

"Once our recalls begin, you will be offered a position at CALEX based on your CAL DOH. Your place on our list will also be determined by your CAL DOH. A true merged list."

Where did you get this info?? I asked Lex if I would be called in to Express if they start hiring before CAL and he said 'NO.' He told me the only way I would go to Express from the street was to apply and interview like anyone else.

BluDevAv8r,

Also, I'm unclear of your statement concerning pay longevity. I am on the street and am NOT gaining longevity for pay purposes. If I return to CAL in three years, it's like I am returning October 2, 2001...still on first year pay.
