Thanks
Q:Are they CAL Planes or their own?
A: They are CAL owned planes operating under a separate certificate
Q: Can it be bid just like any other base?
A: Yes, when we run our bids if there's openings anyone can bid it.
Q: Can they fly east of Hawaii?
A: No, currently they do not
Q: How many pilots/planes are there, what's their seniority, and has there been a lot of movement in and out of there over the years?
A: Not sure how many 737-800's there are out there but they have 52 Captains and 67 F/O's. Captain seniority varies from senior '83 scabs to 1998 hires. I'd say movement lately has been minimal. Back in the mid '90's lots of junior F/O's were shipped out there during furloughs.
