This is all about controlling capacity in the domestic and international markets. As sad as it may make you and me to watch the CAL name go away, long term it will be good for both companies and both pilot groups. That being said anyone with aspirations of going to CAL should be ready to wait, it will probably be awhile (5+ years).
At least Jeff Smisek will be calling the shots and not Tilton. There might be some light at the end of the tunnel. Best of luck to all my good friends at CAL, and all the good folks at UA, interesting times ahead.
