CAL and UAL pilots
I'm going to list a few things that are important to me. I hope they are important to everyone flying for the combined company.
1. Pay-Cal pilots have not been payed like a legacy pilots since Frank Lorenzo took over CAL. Now no one is payed like a Legacy Pilot. We have to fix this.
2. 50 seat scope as leverage-leverage implies that you are willing to use it to get something else. I'm not. 50 seat scope is the 11th commandment, it's written in stone.
3. 70 seat scope-I've seen people state on forums that 70 seat scope is a genie that is already out of the bottle. I disagree. I'm not one that wants to choke the golden goose, but I will choke the sh@$ out of the genie and shove his fat $## back in the bottle. It's time we take back all of our flying.
4. Work rules-I flew for the military before flying for CAL so I didn't really understand work rules. Now I fly for CAL, and I still don't. We need to fix this. I'm tired of flying with a copy of the FAR/AIM as work rule guidance.
5. Recalling all furloughs to an airline that is worth working for.
Like I stated at the begining, these are a few things that I think are extremely important. If you spell or grammar check it you will probably find errors every where, but I wrote this quickly not to prove that I'm a literary genius.
