Looking at most of UAL's B777 July Line Awards, it looks like the 'high' side is in the neighborhood of 88hrs (+/-45mins). To chase your 100hr months, appears you dabble in the BES OT on a regular basis??
I'm all for giving our families the 'best', but when it means that you do so with 1400+ fellow pilots on the street, your doing no one any favor's (including yourself) in the long run for this 'new' company. I'm sure FLIB's thanks your for your dedication/heroism in padding his fashion account.

As you pointed out, you've been around this industry for a few years.....thus nothing should surprise us in the labor v mgt. It's our time to make a stand, and helping out the company is not the solution!
Like you, I've have had enough. Without a doubt, I've long since decided that I will die standing, not on my knees as we take it to mgt in this JCBA journey. Are you prepared to stand with us if through proper channel's we are released by the NMB??

We've ('former' CAL Pilots) been saying this for YEARS, he does NOT get it!! He's not a new accouterment to CAL, been around for over 15 years showing his colors in the wings, prior to his present time in the current big chair.
