You mean THAT REAL AIRLINE? I'd rather be at CAL to be perfectly honest. When GB and GB were here, it was the place to be. Unfortunately, that has gone down hill RAPIDLY under new management, and with the introduction of our new dance partner, it's gotten even worse. Sorry............even turned down DAL to come here as did several other guys I know. Now it's not looking like such a great decision, but it's one I'll live with for a few more years......

Oh, and the couple of UAL guys I've flown with have been great guys to fly with and other than crappy schedules, are HAPPY to be back flying again.
I'm guessing you're just fantasizing right now .. like, wow, I'm a real airline pilot, not some shill working for a third tier airline like CAL. I'm guessing that FEDEX and UPS were nipping at your heels to come interview too

. Go back to your helicopters , this job is for real aviators

You got hired by a regional/commuter that aspires (and fails) to be a world class airline. Have another GB cheeseburger.
