It has since improved, but their willingness to work with the crews is absolutely horrible.

Case in point: The weight restriction. CAL will just start rebooking people without even talking to the crew to see what we can actually carry based on what gets loaded in the back. They reassigned 10 people when we could have taken a full boat without ever talking to us. The only reason I found out is cuz I called Ops asking where the other 10 people were since we were told to expect a full flight. But of course, those reassignments just get coded as CHQ being weight restricted.

I could careless what they say about me in the break room behind my back. For right now, I have to work with them and they have to work with me. The only way that's gonna work is if we're both trying to get a good product out. Funny how CHQ's "rocky start" at CAL is nowhere near reflected in their operations for AA, DAL, US, UAL, or F9. I'm not saying we're perfect...but neither is the CAL side and they're doing a lot more to f*ck us then help us.
