CAL Hirring??
 

Everyone says that CAL is going to start back up after the summer, well its after the summer and it does not appear that they have. What is the word out of Huston? How many, and when??

I didn't know they stopped! I keep hearing a few names getting a call. Hopfully they can take in about 30-40/mo.

Yeah, things are rolling at full steam over there.

I'm at the schoolhouse now. 15/ week 475 by June 07.

They never stopped. During the summer they went way down in numbers to allow instructors to go fly the line. But they are hiring 16 per week now. New hires will go directly into the 777 for the first time.

That's because no one else wants it. IRO flying (not FO- no takeoffs or landings-can't log it as PIC or SIC), reserve, 16 hour legs, overnights in Deli and Tel Aviv. No thanks. I'd like to fly it someday, but I'm avoiding it for now. :rolleyes:

a friend of mine said that 777 reserve fo's never fly. only about 8-10 days a month. not bad if you live near newark...

Cares about PIC/SIC?

Where are you building time to go to as a 777 guy?

Besides, think you're wrong about logging SIC... Rq'd crew member, sole manipulator of the controls...

I was told, "expect a call in 2-3 weeks" but that was back in Feb:(

Three internal recs from: CLE, IAH and EWR.... but I guess I need to send a bottle of Glenfiddich to the right person:rolleyes: down in Texas?

Like they say: patience is a virtue or at least that is what I think they say:confused:

So what is your point? From your avitar you are flying the 756FO seat. Last time I looked no one wanted that either. Same goes for junior FO on the 737. The point is after a certain seniority pilots already on the list don't bid the slots. Especially when someone knows they'll be 737FO line holder in 6 months.

And I could care less if I ever get another landing. I quit logging flight time over a decade ago.
