ExpressJet pilots have recently had pass benefits aligned with all other CAL/UAL Express carriers, as they should be. They have been on gravy train for years. Boarding on CAL airplanes before CAL employees that have hire dates after them at ExpressJet.
Did this ever happen at UAL? I bet it never did! Now they are whinning like a bunch of school girls when they have to board CAL/UAL aircraft where they should at the end of standby list.
UAL pilots will love the fact that CAL pilots that are old ExpressJet pilots have boarding dates for when they were hired at ExpressJet, NOT CAL hire date. CAL has pilots that were hired at ExpressJet from 70/80/90's that were NOT hired at CAL until 90/00's and kept original ExpressJet boarding date.
