Default Just how short IS Cal

According to this website the UAL side employs 17.386 pilots per a/c. The CAL side...a mere 13.491. If you work the numbers the CAL side needs @ 1,370 pilots to have the same staffing as the UAL side. Managment is clearly full of $h!t. Not that anyone didn't know this already!!!

Part of that is the fact that UAL has more widebodies than CAL and they're staffed at almost three times as many pilots per airframe as the narrowbody fleets.

Management is clearly full of $h!t.
That's the other part.

GOOD NEWS!!! Looks like ya'll won't have to worry about anymore "sickouts" on the FO's side of things. Just came off a flight (pax in the back) where the FO was a training department scab captain. Glad to see he's helping make sure you don't have anymore canceled flights!

Training scheduling is already calling some 737 pilots with training in the first week of August advising them that their annual training has been canceled. Seems the company is short of pilots and needs the bodies flying the line.

Does that mean we have a sickout a whole week in advance?

Funny stuff. Blame it on the pilots again. Personally I think it is the tea parties fault.

I blame global warming. It's too hot to fly.

Default What took so long?

Fly the contract, especially when you have furloughed pilots off property. So, what took so long, union brothers??

I guess if they staffed at a reasonable ratio all UAL furloughed pilots would back at work... We could complete negotiations and life would be good! Oh wait! Were dealing with airline management who forgot the "Working Together" mantra after fall 2001.
