Based on the things he was telling me, it sounded like his problem was deeper than a bad schedule or uncommutable trip...

Wackjob thats funny. I didn't say anything about CAL. The discussion was mainline pilots, not CAL.

I love those kind of flights. that's when you get to tell them that they're at fault because they are the ones that gave up the scope.

Just because you are getting a ride home or to work doesn't mean that you have to take crap from the pilots.

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???

They most likely were hired right out of the military or got lucky and got a mainline job back in the 80's. Do a little probing into their background and that should tell the tale.
