That fleet announcement was comparing end of year 2007 to end of year 2011. Most of those planes were already being retired or have been retired. The biggest reduction in 2011 is coming on the RJ side of their operation. The mainly reduction will be 34 DC9s still in the fleet BUT an increase in MD90s and a few other international aircraft. So the mainline side of the house is not taking the big hit that the numbers you quoted might indicate...they were already planned or have already occurred.

I know it doesn't feel like it but many of us still on the property have not forgotten any of you.

Many thanks to the CAL (and UAL) pilots who have been keeping us in the loop, even when the information is not confirmed, it helps more than you know and is more than anyone else has provided us.

Heard from shipmates that are still on the bottom of the list on the Slave Ship (LCO Airbus) that the 570 will sell us down the river if it will benefit them in anyway.


12 years wasted.
Nice :mad: !!!!

Did this come via the CAL MEC Friday update? Can you post the letter on here, if that is the case?

Thanks for the post.:cool:

Is this the reason for all the recalls (147) to happen at CAL or will there be more crews needed in the future to staff LAX

The flying planned for the new LAX base will be mostly what the CLE B737 base has been doing, "Hawaii." It was very inefficient and took a lot of crews to operate. With the new LAX B737 base the pairings will be much more productive and hence less pilots needed.

The only reason CLE B737 base was assigned this flying in the first place was it was the smallest base and the easiest to train for LRN/ETOPS operations.

It's all about saving money. Less pilots-less money. Not what you want to hear when your on the street.
