The work rules differences when ALL THE FLYING, CAL/UAL, is combined will mean furloughs under the CAL contract. Dude, this isn't about CAL verses UAL it is about one contract which is beneficial for the combined group!
Even the FA's know that giving away work rules is far harder to recoup than pay. Of course you might be one of those who likes working 100 hours a month (DH included) and have no life at home.
One airline, One Contract and One Pilot group!
Missing your point here. You said if CAL won, 1000's would be furloughed. UAL won and it seems there will still be furloughs. IAM wanted to bring the UAL FA's over the same way UAL pilots would be brought over to CAL when hiring starts but AFA said no. The point I have is to the CAL FA's the UAL contract is not beneficial. Who the hell wants to work a line one month and reserve the next?
