No. As made abundantly clear by all the UAL rhetoric and CAL-bashing I've read on this forum and have heard elsewhere, until there's a JCBA and an SLI there's CAL and UAL pilot groups. And you can drop the pretentious "L-" prefix.

Now that's career progression prison style. "I'll give ya five packs of smokes for your furloughee"....."you're my furloughee now, b$tch".....and so on.
What a load. The few
UAL furloughees I've flown with seemed like great guys and were pretty excited about being back on the line - any line. If that's not your scene, fine, no one is forcing you. CAL pilots didn't cause you to be furloughed, we didn't dictate the terms of your "indentured servitude", and we sure as hell aren't forcing you to accept. Your perfectly welcome to stay at home and continue smoking whatever merger conspiracy crack floats your boat. Happy pipe dreams.
