BID 12-05 is out.

Reduction of (32) FO positions
Increase of 32 CA positions

60 737 CA LAX
58 FO LAX

LAX to be operated ..."After lengthy evaluations of the distribution of the B737 flying this bid will also open an LAX
Base. This new Base opening is in accordance with the CBA and the Transition and Process
Agreement, and as such will support flying to HNL and OGG as well as domestic flying
through IAH, CLE and EWR. The LAX base may be operated as a co-terminal with SNA,
ONT and BUR. The anticipated opening date for LAX will be the May 2011 bid period. All

Back to commuting for me. And no further recalls.

The company will delay having to recall anyone else under the guise of not wanting to have to recall to CAL only to have them leave back to UAL. When in fact there will be no more recalls on either side. Our credit ranges are very high on the CAL side and this the slowest time of the year, this summer is going to suck. I think they just don't want to add any more no votes to a substandard JCBA.

This Summer is going to be great! If this Summer sux for any CAL pilot, shame on them. I guarantee you that UCAL management isn't planning on burning the midnight oil or canceling vacations.

If any pilot "individually" wants to do their part in achieving a superb contract and getting UAL furloughees back on property, this Summer should provide such an opportunity.

I am just talking about the credit ranges that PBS will build. The lines are going to suck and the Splat will move very senior, I was splated at 41% in December so that is what I am talking about it sucking this summer.

Sounds very fatiguing.

Not sure if I could keep up with a schedule like that. Years ago when I held a line the summer schedules were often onerous and fatigue inducing.

BTW, what is this Splat of what you speak? Getting "splated" sounds fatiguing as well. Just reading about it makes me....fatigued.

I think I need to lie down.
