9 year CA pay at Express = 2 year FO (widebody) pay at CAL.
New hires (some) are getting 767 & 777 in EWR. I'm taking a 767 tonight to Europe. To each their own, I'll take the major any day.
RT,

Tell Hermack he's a big PE loser for me. Enjoy AMS and I hope you get a Business First seat for the deadhead.
