CAL's been doing this for over 20 years now and the Pilots who help-out are as much to blame as management.
I'm with AA (former TWA) and AA's in the "refuse to recall" mode. Cancellations for lack of crews, reserves flying over guarantee every month. Co. blaming canceled flts on the "sick rate". Now doing the "shrink to profitablity" mode to avoid recalls (flt attendants too).
