This is a clear violation of CAL scope - therefore CAL guys are pi-ssed.

And by the looks of it at SkyWest, they will be forcing over 160 pilots to go to IAH and probably around a 100 to MSP. Not a whole lot are interested in transferring, so they'll be forced out of ORD, DEN and SLC. Very few are happy about it here either.
