Strange.
I guess the whipper snappers have a different view of the world than those of us who were there participating in it.
As a participant I believe the time frame you spoke of was the early 90's. While I was hired 3 years prior to that at miserable ol' CAL, I do recall attempting to get a UAL job several years after being hired. During the process I found out that I didn't have the proper plumbing, (see cooter), and I didn't process a unique ethnicity.
You failed to mention that small tidbit in your lambasting of the average CAL Pilot hired during that time period. To branch out and say that the average pilot hired at CAL during that time frame was inferior to the average UAL hire would be a bit of a stretch don't you think?
