What are the first two or three months at CAL like?

You think a foil covered turd is pretty?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....but you do have a point there.

Of course if you use really quality foil.....no, management would cut back on that too to maximize their stock option pricing and bonuses.

I think CAL could be awesome if it weren't for the contract, PBS, the scabs, and the hubs.

And also the size of Larry's head. LOL

The first 2 months sitting in EWR on reserve were pretty rough. I had never commuted before so that was also another thing that made those 2 months bad. I flew every reserve day until I had my 100 hours CKS. After that, I rarely got called and ended up sitting around the crashpad playing those inane games on calforums. Most 73 trips are not commutable for the junior guys (I never had one that was commutable the day of coming or going). The good news is that you will be a lineholder very quickly. A few months of pain for the rapid advancement is worth it. It's kind of like going to the dentist. You may not want to do it but you have to. After being here for less than a year, I've had off the 4th of July weekend and have 4 weeks off over Thanksgiving. Congrats on getting hired! You will love it after the first few months....AFTER the first few months.

Thanks, guys.

AWACoff, you make a good point: sitting around on reserve doing nothing is EXACTLY what I'm afraid of. I don't mind commuting per se, but I just hope I'll be able to fly instead of sitting around.

Thanks for the info!

You work at a regional, plz go to your section!

I wish I was a Captain like you. I'm just a lowly gear jerker at CAL. Plus, I don't think I am as pretty as you.

Thanks flygirl!

But I already have a BFF.

yeah it's awful! I'm starting year 3 and i got christmas off, new years off, 16 days off on my line, and great trips!

It's awful!

what are you bragging about I have been at SWA for 8 months and hold 17 days off at a min.

Isn't faking a quote from someone a banning offense of the forum rules?

If not, I am going to have a field day with this skank.
