go to DAL. then you can fly with a General. maybe he'll honk his Dixie horn for you.
i think DAL could be a good place again. nice equipment. nice bases. nice choices of flying. they still have work rules and a preserved quality of life despite the bankruptcy ringer.
CAL pilots have given up a lot. might take a while to get it back. it's a decent place but the pilots deserve much more than they are getting.
if you live near any base or would want to then i say go with that one. tough choice to make considering the timeframe.
i'd take either one, but i think DAL has the edge on work rules and quality of life. they can build on that in the future. even DAL PBS seems to work ok for most.
CAL has to start from scratch on the upcoming contract. we have no work rules and a lousy PBS system that applies Microsoft logic to your lifestyle - the results aren't pretty for 3/4 of the pilot group.
CAL is working out for me, but i didn't have a DAL option either. take both and decide on your own.
either way...you need to take your seat before the age 65 deal slams the door on hiring industrywide.
