I've never been somewhere where crew members are dropping dead, literally. People are tired. Double red eyes back to back. Scheds always changing. FAs flying 150+ a month.

There is more to life than work. And employees are more than "units of cost". CAL management and employees together believe in working yourself to exhaustion.

So yes, CAL sucks!

Disclaimer: never been in trouble here, or anywhere I've worked, never called in sick. Have built two businesses so I actually enjoy hard work.
