If there was no merger where would these involuntary furloughs be when recalled at United? What equipment would they hold? Captain? 777 FO?

2005 Continental hires can hold captain, can hold 777 FO line holder, hold any equipment out there. They are at about 72 percent on the relative seniority list. So an involuntary furloughed pilot will just slide right in? Bang you are now able to hold captain, and this is justified because you were hired in 1999??

I am sorry your career has not progressed as expected, but this doesn't seem fair.
