You can not compare your situation with other new hires at CAL. You got to interview because you were on property at Express win contract 98 passed. I am very familiar with the flow through, the 118, and the PIGs. Your mins are not typical for a CAL new hire. You were offered an interview per the flow through in 2002. No other new hires at CAL were being interviewed then. I have been at Express a long time, not long enough to get an interview there, but long enough to have spent 5 years as an FO. If CAL ever calls I would be more than happy to take the interview and hopefully the job. I will just remember where I came from.
In most of your posts you come through real arrogant. That is how a lot of people read them. That may not be your intention that is how it comes through.
I know the topic of the thread and I don't think that you are a realilistic new hire min at CAL.
