I flew with them as well. One in 2005 before they (the last 4) had dates, and the 2 others were on their last few trip at XJT. The 4th was hired directly into the training department and had a slightly offset CALEX hire date from the other 3 but was still in the last of the P.I.G. category.
Again, that's if IIRC. But looking at a CAL seniority list it seems to be as I remember.
Alright, I've got to ask. What is P.I.G.S? I was a low E2000 number but left right after the flow backs had left but before that new flow ever kicked in.

The fact is people were hired here at the company (on both sides) under different terms that existed at the time between companies. I am not going to begrudge anyone who was hired under the terms that were agreed to between all parties back then. I have no problems with the seniority list, save the huge group of opportunists who occupy a place on it currently.
It's a good point. I don't think a AMR... let's just say DAL, AMR+DAL merger would allow one to say "those TWA guys were screwed, let's fix that."
That could've been argued by Republic pilots in the DAL/NWA merger but it wasn't because I don't think that reordering of seniority has merit. now if there was a fence or some other stipulation then maybe that can be taken down but not move pilot #5452 to spot #3450 and move #3450 back to #5452.
