I was hired at CAL in 1999 it was my top choice (that or NWA) and its been a great career. Done better at CAL then I would have anywhere but FDX or Southwest career wise. Lots of great people to work with. The UAL furloughs I fly with are my same hire date, which makes me glad I was not hired on the UAL side. They have overall been a fantastic group of guys to work with. Its too bad this forum shows the 2% of crazy a""holes and not the 98% of reasonable guys on both the UAL and CAL side. Time for a lot of you to hop off the crazy train........
