Don't forget the elite "SUPER-SUPER's"???
You know, the PATCO SCAB + turned CAL Super SCAB = "SUPER SUPER"....or 'over achievers'
There are a few of them rolling about too!

We'll see if Jefferey can convince the POI that once every 12 months is enough. May depend on which POI becomes the MFWIC after combined Ops start.
From what I was told, the incident that you cited above had a lot to do with CAL's PC Profile (B756) from this past year while doing all the E.O. Profile work in SFO....interesting.
I would bet the UAL 9 month vs the CAL Annual Sim thrashing will have a lot to do with which Operating Certificate they use post merger. Will be interesting to see what training changes come about fleets wide come post merger. Without a doubt, I'm sure they will push for the most 'economical' path....unfortunately.
