Same in 2001. On a historical fiction note (due to the anniversary), I kind of feel like I won the poker hand to gain passage on the Titanic...I've already been pulled from the water once just to be thrown back in when the new captain wanted to right size the lifeboat.

I think it's just the UAL guys getting the perks and they would get them returning to UAL proper - part of the deal. I don't think new hires of the street get these things at CAL.

Slammer, unless something has changed, last I checked, a true new hire at CAL doesn't get medical for six months, and pass bennies didn't kick in immediately either. CAL new hires also forked out their own cash for their uniforms. CAL new hires, unlike UAL, only have to stay on probation for 365 from their date of hire, and only have to serve 365 days of being paid meager wages that haven't changed in 12 years.

The UAL crowd gets uniforms, hotel, per diem, medical, pass benefits (they have these as furloughs so it doesn't really matter), and no probationary period. Though, some of us have to spend as many as 700 days on probationary pay.

I think you were referring to only the hotel portion of the previous threads, correct?
