Slammer, unless something has changed, last I checked, a true new hire at CAL doesn't get medical for six months, and pass bennies didn't kick in immediately either. CAL new hires also forked out their own cash for their uniforms. CAL new hires, unlike UAL, only have to stay on probation for 365 from their date of hire, and only have to serve 365 days of being paid meager wages that haven't changed in 12 years.

The UAL crowd gets uniforms, hotel, per diem, medical, pass benefits (they have these as furloughs so it doesn't really matter), and no probationary period. Though, some of us have to spend as many as 700 days on probationary pay.

I think you were referring to only the hotel portion of the previous threads, correct?
