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.
Good post, just one thing that could come up-
If there are any furloughed UAL pilots from the early 2000's who where then hired at CAL and are now on the CAL list while also being on the UAL Furloughed list?
I know for a fact that we have American Airlines Furloughees who were hired at CAL and now have a pretty decent seniority.. to the point that they are holding an aircraft seat here (CAL) that they couldn't come close to at American. (Not sure if they have even been recalled at AA yet.. and with what's going on over there, who knows!?)
I'll bet that there are probably a handful of pilots that are going to be used as examples during the arbitration~
