most legacy carriers are operating under a 9/11 butchered contract. management took the supplied axe and chopped everything they could. some pilot groups swung back and kept some things off the chopping block.
some pilot groups threw the entire contract on the block and management made confetti of it. CAL pilots let that happen. i wasn't a CAL pilot then. i'm a CAL pilot now. the great majority of CAL pilots know the mistakes made and are prepared to slug out a new deal that is fair. our Union has finally tranformed from a management-intern position to one committed to the pilot group.
look for vast improvements on CAL's next deal. the current deal sucks more than a Tool Time-modified vacuum cleaner. i look forward to propelling my career and my company onward and upward. i'm encouraged by the efforts of our group going forward.
but i also understand if people don't wanna put up with it right now. i came because i got seniority in a hurry (500 #s below me in one year and growing) and good equipment among other things. i like CAL, but i see the gaps where it could be better. i'd like to be a part of that improvement. it will happen soon enough.
