I have noticed here at Expressjet that CAL pilots (only some) have a REALLY bad attitude towards Expressjet pilots. I love when the FO's who probbaly worked at Expressjet calls us "kids" or the CA's walk by when we are deadheading on them "for work" and they don't even say hello!!!!!! We are HUMAN BEINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am thankful for CAL, cause without them I would'nt have a flying job, but come on for christsake.....................a lot came from a regional, a lot are scabs, and I bet alot only had 400hrs when they got hired a million years ago, anybody else get this type of treatment???
CAL pilots seem to be some of the worst. Who knows, it might be the scabs who hate us. Not sure why that is since most of em were at Express at some point, usually during the PFT days...go figure. I will say this, if a CAL guy is trying to get on my airplane (when I upgrade) and he has a poor attitude, just watch how hard I work to get him on...
Might start "finding" extra bags or freight instead of half-weights
If a CAL guy gives me grief for working at a "regional" I usually tell them that I wish they would get more 737s so they could start doing Beaumont and Lake Chuck. I hate those places and it'd mean more jobs at CAL
