Smilton better get his act together. If DENTK isn't spooled up in the next 12 months he will have a difficult time keeping up with retirements. BTW. LCA's should think about taking a sabbatical until the JCBA is settled.

We will see in May when the CAL LAX base opens. Been hearing many bad things from pilots and mgmt alike saying that UAL ain't happy about it and isn't going to play nice in the sandbox.

Please don't scare me with the prospect of commuting to CLE

But this is going to have some negative implications no doubt about it. How about the United side brings 747's to IAH and the local IAH guys are unable to bid it and will be displaced because of it. Think there might be a problem with that? I'm guessing so. |

They are already behind the power curve. I agree with the LCA comment too. |

I have to agree being a surplussed 320 Capt from LAX, that is pretty bitter pill to swallow. If we had a TA and it was UAL as a whole that was bringing back 737's to LAX and we could all bid them I wouldn't have an issue with it obviously.

Think there might be a problem with that? I'm guessing so. The LAX flying that will be occurring isn't any new flying and can't be. CAL served the city pairs prior to the merger that the LAX base will be doing and that's all they will be able to fly. I know its a bitter pill to swallow and rumor has it our LAX guys will be using the UAL crew room for check-ins. I'd say that over 50% of the LAX Captains will be scabs on our end so it should lead to some interesting discussions :). |

Honestly, all I hear our (UA) guys say is "At least it's NOT Express". Having said that though, I'm ORD based and I'm sure an LAX A320 F/O on reserve has a different view on the matter. After all, I'm sure if we opened an A320 base in CLE this summer CAL guys would.. "play nice in the sandbox"....Right?;)
I have no beef with my CAL brethren, I know they hate this as well and never asked for it either. But until a JCBA and SLI, it is just more teleportation of career existence/expectations from one side to the other, CAL being the obvious net winner. With all respect, I think the more senior you are the less you realize how big a hit this has been. Next we will have CAL planes parked and probably more UAL furloughs (maybe some of us for the 3rd time-yeah). Don't get me wrong, the fight should not be between us, but world peace means nothing when your entire career has been stripped away. Anything less than meaningful contract restoration and fair SLI integration is pretty much useless kumbaya mantra. I just want my frickin career back, you know the one that started 12 years ago. I'm sure 1436 others would agree. Peace- Kc |

Or how about all the furloughed folk who see the routes (ORD-FLL for example), they once flew now flown by CAL recalls. This crap started a couple years ago, lets not forget that.
