Of course, there are some ding dongs who think seniority is a "right." Seniority is not a right but a negotiated item. Unions can negotiate almost anything they want including putting entire group of pilots at the bottom of the list.
UAL pilots are already, militant, angry and impatient. Many UAL pilots directlIy blame CAL for their predicament. CA Jay Pierce has been undermining UAL pilots at every opportunity which is creating much distrust and hostility. UAL pilots are more angry at Jay Pierce and CAL pilots than they are of management. This is not good news for those hoping for a fair seniority integration. If CAL pilots were smart, they would immediately get rid of Pierce.
CAL pilots. You better get your head out of your @$$ before it's too late.
Thanks for that insight...we've never heard that on the forum...brilliant....you seem to be running scared wrt the future and the UA pilots. Explain to us..." before it's too late"
