Truth hurts brings up some valid points.
Seniority brought over from calex. Freaking hilarious! Never gonna happen!
Guess those people are still calling it a merger
book it? Oh my. What's this, a UGA football thread? Book it we're winning the national championship this year!? Every year I hear this.

First, I'll admit. I'm just an outsider. I saw CALEX and got mildly interested although the term is really Coex.
But as to this "Franke (SP?) Report", well, I can agree with that.

I read the original post and got bored with it. I didn't see a question presented, I saw a grenade thrown followed by a flame thrower.
Okay, I did see two questions:
1. Who in the hell do you think it will be -- A 15 year UAL pilot? Dream On.
2. You know the old saying "You cut your nose off to spider face?"

There's your answer Truthbetold.
But if I'm not mistaken the guys that were a part of this deal were early to mid 1990s guys at Coex and then we're held back. The date they'd originally flowed to CAL was their seniority date. There were some deals worked out on how that worked but no they weren't using their Coex hire dates.
BTW, the one guy I know who did this was a 94 hire Coex hire, I believe he did the pref interview and was ahead of some at Coex who failed the pref interview but flowed anyways. He was held back but eventually went to CAL. He was senior enough to be a EWR 767 A before going EWR 777 B recently.
I don't think the guys held back (unless they did it in the 2000s again) are junior in any way shape or form.
I do not believe anybody in their right mind can operate with two seniority dates when it comes to bidding. That's nonsensical.
