Aww come on Otto! Quit for where? I'm sure you're stating the truth, but that's a bummer. Guys getting the 737 type and bouncing to SWA? Not cool at all.

Guys, look at DELTA's pay and potential.........
I want nothing more than to go to CAL, but if anybody here has read "Worst to First", Larry Kellner is doing the exact opposite of what Gordon did...........It will catch up sooner or later.............., not to mention the pay, QOL, and no health insurance............

Why is that not cool? It sends a direct message to our lame-ass management that they can't keep treating new-hires, (or the entire Pilot group for that matter), like door mats.

Date of hire and age within a given class.
Unless something has changed that I am unaware of in the last 17 years.
Good luck to all but don't get caught up in not trying to go elswhere after you get here. PBS is brutal and low pay and no insurance for 6 months. Good airline after that. But if you get a cance move on to SWA, FedEx, or UPS.

I'd like to hear some other people's opinions on this subject.

What I meant by that is that it's disappointing to hear. I was just happy to finally get a number at a legacy airline. I suppose everyone has their reasons for going to one company or another. I have no interest at all in working for SWA. But yeah, that type of pay would be nice. I have only experienced a few different corporate cultures, and so far CAL is better than most. If you're seeing a shift there, I'm not happy to hear that. It worries me that with all the new blood being drawn to the company over equipment and speedy upgrades, that they will overlook important aspects like schedules, retirement, and benefits. '08 should prove to be interesting.

I also read 'From Worst to First' and somehow hoped that a bit of that was still left in the company.

As you probably gathered from my posts, I'm a newbie at your company - so I say this with utmost respect, please take my questions for what they are. What needs to be changed? Or what issues would you change first? The first one that has hit me right off the bat is the lack of medical coverage, something I found surprising but knew of prior to accepting the job. What are some improvements that can be made at CAL without significantly eroding the profits that are setting them apart right now from some of the other carriers?

who are they setting themselves apart from? just about everyone seems to be making money so far this year.

And if I remember correctly, you said that guys getting the free type and going to SW was "not cool". Do you still blame them?
