Can someone explan relative seniority? And how this seniority list was able to be made so easily? The way I understand it is, if you are able to hold a seat and equipment now, you should still be able to hold it after integration.
Interesting discussion yesterday with my FO. While enroute from Newark to Bogota we had lots of time to talk. He is previous ExpressJet and came to CAL in 97 or 98. He got in on the hiring frenzy 3 yrs ago and actually held captain here for 7 months. He was pushed back to the right seat last year and remarked that most of the furloughed guys at UA are senior to him based on D.O.H. He is hoping that CAL with post another bid or two before the lists are finalized hoping to get a bottom captain bid somewhere. He is also looking to go to the 757/767 for the type rating in case he falls victim to getting furloughed as a result of combining the lists. It certainly makes for unsettling times for the pilots on both lists. I am not sure of the precedent for being a junior captain for one airline and going ahead of a senior FO from another airline. It might work in the early stages when fences are in place, but after that, I would think seat protection would be out the window? I have a lot to study up on I think....
Wouldn't you like to come work with me, and not have to worry about this crap anymore?
You'd be living in TUS too, with all the perks that come with that....![]()
Good point, send me a resume. By the way, I don't know how to fly helicopters.![]()
Jeeze, a lot of those CAL guys are young! Hired at age 24?
Snuggle said:I used to fly with that guy on the 1900.
Yeah, the age diff between the 2 airlines is apparent at the bottom of their lists.
