It's definitely been a raw deal for all UAL pilots who were furloughed. Blaming your fellow pilots is kind of stupid though.
I'm about 3,000 numbers junior to the CAL pilots hired on the exact same day as me. We're all ****ed (especially since CAL was a last resort airline back in the 1990's and those guys now get super seniority). I guess we need to get over it.
Agree. A ton of friends of mine didn't get hired at UAL. DAL, etc but end up at CAL in the late 90s and it ends up being better than if they'd actually had their first choice airline.
