Why did I come to CAL?
-Great route structure and fleet
-Better financial position than most
-Better managed than most
-Seamless transition after 7 years at Express
-Quick advancement at the time
-Chance to be based in EWR and not have to move
And the big one....
-That despite having an abortion of a contract that is a complete disgrace to the piloting profession, TIMES WOULD BE A' CHANGIN! Yes, I knew how bad it would be here for a few years under POS '02, but I also knew that Lorenzo's Lackeys and their demographic would not hold on to their power for much longer. If 1/3 of the pilot group was on the B-scale in '05 do you think this contract would have passed? So yes, I have a right to complain that this contract sucks, because I came here with the expectation of helping CAL regain it's place in the industry from before Lorenzo, one we all can be proud of. Are you on board?
I worked for CAL for a year and left. Worst employer ever.
Financial position is a big question with such assets to liabilities ratio.
It's hard to improve the place when it never attracted and kept good people. Well, only may be in LA days and 2005-2007.
I realized something today at work. Most people do not come on here. I think it is a few, and it just happens to be the few that complain.
It is still fun though...hehehe.
So Mr. SFR, what are your hopes and expectations for Contract '08? And also, you never answered my question from another thread. You enjoy the fact that you spend most of your time at home not flying. So why should you be getting paid $10,000 a year less to stay home than your bankrupt contemporaries at Delta? And since you don't seem to be aware of how substandard our contract is, we make more than $20,000 a year less than DAL on the 757 for years 1-3!
