UAL Captains wait 30m, no van, get a cab, expense it. Result: van is there waiting. Regardless, 30m after block in, UAL pilots are driving to the hotel, one way or the other.
What is interesting is the CAL pilots complain like bad a** tough guys, but when it comes to action.... well....
EWR CPO attitude towards pilots: I guess if we can trust you to fly the jets we can trust you on dry cleaning expenses.
Almost funny listening to the ual side but in reality most are not viewed that way by the rest of the industry, it is considered a weak group. Not trying to flame but I have not seen the majority of ual pilots act like what I read above in a long time. Heck they approved this contract that says plenty.
