Hah! We had one of those little torches in light tan with dark brown vinyl interior (why would anyone ever buy a tan car...). It was parked for about 6 months while Ford worked out a fix. Someone left the drivers window down one night and there was about 6-9” of water in the back floorboard the next morning. Imagine my incredulity when my stepfather got out a drill with a 20” concrete bit and put a “new” drain in the floor. I asked him what about the hole, his reply, you won’t even know it’s there. He was right.

I learned to drive in that thing.

I thought I was totally over the "civil war" ****** but some folks here are (pun intended) tearing off the scab. I have flown with many excellent LCAL pilots (flew out of EWR for 1.5 yrs on the 757). I believe that if you are a doosh, you're a doosh, if you're not, you're not. Doesn't matter what legacy carrier you came from, if you were military or GA, if you were Army, or Navy, or USAF or whatever. If you're a tool, you're a tool. And I'm def calling out AirMic and Whaler as falling into the tool category. It is the most ignorant argument in the history of commercial aviation to argue that a non furloughed cal pilot should automatically be senior to a furloughed LUAL pilot. A ridiculous thing to say, yet there are many who say it. I will hazard to guess (and only calling out the tools here, I don't want to incite another round of the Civil War) that these individuals have a rejection letter from United. When I was applying, I applied to ever swinging Richard out there, but i wasn't going to stop until I got to either United, American or Delta. Who the hell chooses CAL when they have two letters in their hand (one from CAL and one from UAL). Get real. Just sayin'. Peace out.
Furloughed means you didn’t have a job. If you were furloughed twice you spent the better part of 10 years not working for United. You were never senior at UAL. Furlough means you get zero credit. The ISL reflects that.

I never expected to get credit for my time riding the bench and therefore I’m not still polluting the place with my angsty hot air. You had unrealistic expectations and you got served.

Have you read the arbitrators decision? I can't believe we have pilots who went through the entire process, yet still don't understand the underlying rationale.

So how did the furloughed CAL pilots end up in front of UAL pilots since they had no job... hired 8 years after the pilots they went in front of... and had less than a year of longevity? Just curious.
