Shrek, talk to your reps about what's barreling down the road at UAL pilots (CAL pilots were run over long ago). Payscales and a $3000 retro check will be the least of your concerns. Here's Wendy's latest blastmail

While the CAL culture was purported to be a great culture, the facts are *clear. It would have been hard for us to imagine it could be worse than *ours, but we are all living the evidence. What perpetuated the fable *was maybe if you say it enough, it comes to be believed, at least in *some environments. The truth is spun for effect. Maybe it was because *Gordon Bethune was dynamic or because it is from where he brought the *airline (recall how many former CAL pilots we have who left to come *here).

She's been desperately trying to communicate what is being observed from her vantage point but I'm not sure folks are hearing it. Her video says a lot. Listen especially for the part that there are no UAL management reps at the negotiating table, just CAL. There is a reason for this. A CAL contract will save them hundreds of millions of dollars per year over the UAL contract, despite pay scales.
