Nice try, but not quite. Id wouldve rather been furloughed from ual than working at cal had they not merged. I wouldve retired 190/7650 ish than a combined 980/12000 ish. To say that i had lower career expectations is nonsense. Using the alpa merger policy, i fully expect to be senior to cal hires prob a year or two ahead of my ual hire date to compensate for the decrease in seniorty to match my original career expectations.
Ual has more pilots ( for now), parked 100 planes, has way more widebodies, and higher career progression and we acquired ( didnt merge) cal for $23/share. If u think the arbitrator wont take at least those items into account, please dont take a drug test. U wont pass
But yes, we will just wait and see.
Ual has more pilots ( for now), ok, I'll give you that one
parked 100 planes, yes, replaced by shinny E170s and 190 contracts since no scope like CALs
has way more widebodies, which pay way less than CAL widebodies (76 is WIDE on our side)
and higher career progression hmmm..does that include furlough and 10 so years of stagnation while CAL hired massivley in 2005
and we acquired ( didnt merge) cal for $23/share. ohhh yea, thats why its our management, our reservation system,
and our paintjob.
Whatever airline we all go to is a gamble how they all will workout in 10, 20 years. Don't be pi**ed that CAL flourished while United was sinking, and now try to grab slots or seniority from a CAL guy. CAL was hiring and anyone who wanted to apply could have. Reminds me of someone who once gambled and when lost, wanted a little from everyone else.
