Cal's Resignations
140 PILOTS LEFT CAL IN 2007 AND MORE TO COME NEXT MONTH AS SOON AS THEY GET THEIR 13 MONTH SALARY AND BONUS.
IS THAT A RECORD?
AND WHAT IS CAL DOING ABOUT IT? NOTHING

cal resignations
Sounds familiar in that part of the world.
Great business sense.
Parking aircraft that could be making you money, i see the logic in that (NOT!!).
2008 is the year of the RAT......how appropriate.

Point of interest:
I have alot of colleagues that went to work in asia during the last downturn about 3 years ago. Many...like 50 went to China Airlines, and a few went to Cathay, NCA, and others went to the ME and to other carriers in N America. Most all are still where they are and are getting ready for promotions...except ALL .. yes thats ALL .. of the 50 guys that went to CAL left within 2 years. Most left within 18 months!!! Haha...what does that say! From the stories I have heard of them....the are one F%%%% U* operation! Bring on the stories!

AFTER ALL IT SEEMS THAT CAL IS WORRIED, THE RUMOR IS THAT STARTING FROM NEXT YEAR ( sorry this year) THEY WILL RAISE THE SALARY FOR LOCAL CAPT. ONLY
HOWEVER I THINK IT'S TO LATE, LET'S WAIT AND SEE HOW MANY FLIGHTS THEY CANCEL DUE LACK OF CREW

What is the point of raising local Capt sallary, since the largest number of First Officer left the company?
It will just broaden the confusion about terms and conditions.
There are no two identical contracts there...
And it is not just the question of money...
CAL is shrinking, two 744 are for sale,
They stopped upgrading, even the local pilots,
There is no seniority,
There is no more expat terms, even if one eventually got the upgrade
The lay over hotels are no longer 5star or 4star resorts
The grass is really greener on the other side...
Happy New Year

The Reason That Cal Is Worried Is That For The First Time In Their History, Local Captains Are Leaving The Company.
Last Two Months At Least 14 Local Guys Went For Interview To Asiana And Kal, And Most Of Them Ip's And Cp's

Well with 100 pilots arriving from SE asia and south america in late January you dont have to worry about CAL, im sure they are delighted to "lose" this alleged number of pilots

lol...yeah...they dont have to worry at all... hmmm...more happy with brand new pilots from S.America and SE Asia... probably mostly low time..maybe not even jet rated new pilots to sit in the RHS next to that shiny new local Captain with 3000 hours total time who has only ever flown widebody, and has trouble understanding english controllers .....lol...NO NO...nothing to worry about at all! YEP...pilot turnover is better than seasoned experienced guys in your own operation. Wow....how dumb can a company get?
Only a fool doesn't learn from his own mistakes.
I will be watching with interest....

Who? PIC? Flipped the CAL MD11 up side down in HKG and ran away?
From the back of the box... I have seen different standard from all walks of life. I believe most of the pilot involve in training can attest to that.

Mandarin is a 100pct CAL owned operation. The captain of this flight is Italian and I understand he retired from flying after this incident. IT was a miracle only 3 passengers died.
