And you aren't going to convince them otherwise so it will go to arbitration and each MEC will argue their points then.
How dare I comment following your strict orders of silence...but oh well, here I go anyway:
From your CAL MEC VC to my "CAL New Hire" Class recently: "the CAL MEC's position has always been in support of full longevity for pay purposes for all UAL and CAL furloughees".
One of you is wrong...I also may be wrong but my guess is you aren't as in touch with your MEC as your bad self thinks and might want to heed your own advice on jabbering half cocked.
