Stop being a total A$$. I’m LCAL 87 hire. Flew the 737-300/500/700/800/900 in the left seat at CAL from 99 to 07. Been on the 756 ever since. Having over 5,000 in the 737. All I can say is the Guppy (get over yourself!) is a POS, my two cents. That’s not a shot against you or any other pilot who flies it. Like stated above we as pilots have no say in what aircraft United acquires.
Also have to say, I’m sick or reading all the stuff on this and other forums about how great CAL was, and bad mouthing LUAL pilots. The merger happened 8 years ago, move on.
Friends of Fred for two decades, no work rules, etc. Life today at United is light years ahead of what we ever had at CAL. How about we move on and stay unified as one group and negotiate a better contract?
