The CAL instructors had the best deal in the industry and it was probably why they tended to hang out in the school house for so long. They were allowed to commute on their days 'on', had free room and transportation and lived a very good life. The new deal is a pretty big cut in pay and lifestyle so I imagine a lot are leaving for other things, especially because of the pay.

That might explain the current listing for 777 instructor positions. The backup works for me. My last trip for the month starts soon and still no date for me. Enjoy it while you can I guess.
