If you are indeed a 737 FO I suspect that you are repeating 2nd or 3rd hand info from family members or coworkers (I feel dirty typing that). I've been at UAL for 15 years and the ONLY negative thing I've heard about CAL pilots relates to the scabs. If anything, the UAL pilot group has been apathetic about CAL. There is absolutely NOTHING inherent in our two groups that should prevent unity. Your scabs can hang with our scabs the rest of us can drink beer and talk sh!t.
I admit, Disdain is too harsh of a word but there are attitudes that exist today, dating yearsbback. Answer to your first question is yes, both first hand and second hand knowledege through other CAPTs Ive flown with.....as it is tied to the scabs at CAL. i Had a 767 FO on the jumpseat (SFO-LAS). Capt was a scab, 767 FO was vocal about scabs and viewed CAL pilots as " needing to step" up. Capt didn't say much, although it got under his skin. I thought he was going to speak up and/ or kick the FO out of the jump seat. I was good with it all Until the FO tied all our pilots to scab mentaility...Figuratievly the gloves came off...and after a few words, he seem to get the point about respect.
