Okay, time for another round of pilots' favorite game, Gross Speculation.

Today's question: How will the SLI be impacted by the fact that senior furloughees are bypassing the CAL job offer and those junior to them are accepting it?

SUB-question: Is there a grandfathered 'seniority list snapshot as of Oct 1st, 2011' boning in the offing, will everyone on the property when the music stops be cushioned by a giant staple job of those of our fraternal brothers still on the streets, or will there be some Clintonesque, lower lip biting, thumb pointing 'third way' worked out?

Yes, this is the type of stuff I think about whilst whiling another day away in Cubicleville.
