The majority of the guys that left for 'sandier' pastures did so because they lost their jobs when BWIA became CAL at the end of 2006. They likely wouldn't have left otherwise. It being human nature, many of them have nothing good to say about CAL.
Of course we nothing good to say, after putting in thirty years service and getting terminated because I was on the Bus, even though I am NG qualified, it does show what type of people are running the place. There are over fifty ex BWIA pilots put out to pasture and having to find jobs far from home. It defies logic what they did.
