New CAL Flying
#21
Problem begins when CAL continues to take delivery of aircraft before the merger is complete. How much flying can you continue to swap if CAL is adding block hours and adding pilots while UAL is not? This will become rather uneven rather quickly. The only route I have heard was IAH-LIM.
Of course Litigator Smisek is not honoring our scope clause so why would we expect him to honor the TPA or merger and fragmentation sections of our scope clause.
The other rumor I have recently heard is that IAH-NRT will be going to a 747 soon.

Just saw that as well. Makes my first post moot. It appears that the flying shifting is more a function of rightsizing routes than any attempted whipsaw. That's good news to me, and I'm sure to our furloughed brothers and sisters. Hopefully they will all be back soon

It will be run as a through flight SFO-IAH-LIM replacing a current CAL 757 which I'm sure will be immediately redeployed to replace that 50-seat RJ from say IAH to LIT??

As soon as a new contract is reached all of the hub to hub flying should go back to mainline, that is in the present contract. With the integration of CO and UA hubs, this should bring back a lot of flying in and of itself.

Hey - one guy sees what's happening. Scope is circling the drain via the "end sweep" happening right now. Skywest 76 seater base at IAH. Republic/Shuttle America 76 seater base at EWR.
Why aren't the MEC chairmen seeking injunctions against this until a JCBA is reached?

I welcome the layover in IAH and Lima but am very interested in seeing Guam for the first time. Sure those are coming for UAL 747 pilots.
