Along those lines.... CAL's management is directly responsible for any furloughs of CAL pilots.

When they decided to make XJT their own company, they also lost the option to "flush-back" to the regional level to avoid unemployment. I do not know the history well enough to know if it was a pilot group vote.... but in the end it is either CAL management or the CAL pilots who are to blame for the unfortunate pilots who are left on the street.

While I am thrilled to know that we (XJT) are still in business for the next 7 years .... many of my friends from XJT will be the pilots without jobs. Our success comes with carefully guarded celebration and respect for those who will suffer from CAL's 11% domestic reduction.

In the end I suspect our line values will drop to guarantee, and we may see the return of long sits mid-day.

KEEP BRANDED ALIVE.... repaint the 135's.
