Seriously though, I think it comes down to frustration from everyone in the CAL system. Kellner is not well liked (I've heard him referred to as "worse than Lorenzo" for those of you who know what means). The general feel here is that CAL had a good system in place with ExpressJet and Mainline and Larry is f*cking it up with all this CHQ mess. Ooooooh well.
Hell, I've worked off hardstands before CAL came along. It's no big shock. The big shock is waiting around for 45 minutes to get a single person near your airplane. Take your frustration out on Larry. He's the one who took your flying. He's the one who put it up for bid. He's the one that awarded it to CHQ. Basically what you're saying is "Well, you guys bid on flying so it's all your damn fault". That makes sense.
