Short answer....Yes & No.

On the B756 there is no designated seat (number) for crew rest like AA has. Once all the upgrades and rev. have been assigned, then the First Class cockpit crew rest seat is assigned. Having been on AA and seen the curtain that the AA guys/gals have, we do not have that at CAL.

If rev and upgrades have checked in full, then the flt deck crew rest is religated to a row of 3 seats in coach....I did not slur, yes COACH. Does it happen?? Yes....very often....No. Been on the equipment for 2 1/2 yrs doing mostly "x'ings", and have been in coach on rest 3 times.....3 times too much. I have heard stories of cockpit crew members getting wake up calls from pax asking for another Coke!!!

We can thank the negociating of Contact POS '02 for this little "beny". This is unacceptable and can be quite the safety issue. This is something that supposedly the neg. comm. is working on as we speak in the contract that is being presently being negociated.

As far as Int'l over-ride at CAL....what's that???
