Again, conjecture ... at MAD, fleet totals were within 10 airframes, and block hours flown were about the same, with CAL flying a higher percentage of international block hours. You did have more pilots, yes. Why? CAL MC thought that was due to overstaffing and less overall productivity.

I see a common theme amongst so many L-UAL folks .... UAL was bigger, better, and more bad ass than L-CAL ... all perception.
