I'm just wondering how long this will go on before heads roll?
Anyone at cal late 90's to 9/11/01 reserve was great. Cal was staffed and hiring. I would drop turns on the end of trips almost on a monthly bases to get on my flight home. Pilots that bid res-no-fly didn't fly. Cal was always above min res coverage etc etc etc. 9/11/01 changed everything and that's what the junior pilots at cal have been living. Maximum productivity for maximum profit. Heads won't role because the mgt team that has created this problem 10+ plus years ago are still here. Sch is partly to blame because they do the job !!!!!!
