Being at an airline with documented growth, new airplanes over the next few years, making money AS OPPOSED to bleeding money profusely, Forbes #1 airline the past 5 years straight, semi-decent quality customer service, and better pay rates (not that either are great) - CAL 1 / UAL 0

I'll take the second bullet anyday.
do you mean like the way CAL treated the jumpseater who caught fire on the md80 a few years back. he had 3rd degree burns on his shoulder and CAL said he didn't pay for his seat so he isn't a passenger and doesn't have the same rights. (we're not paying) yep they really took care of him, CAL management is a real class act .
