When it comes to SLI, that will be a diff story.
They did!!! If you exercise your recall rights and reclaim your spot at UAL after the SLI, it's the UAL MEC that had the duty to ensure that you were not "discriminated against". The CAL MEC represent(ed/s) you as a CAL new hire. They not only made sure you had work, they attempted to protect you from unfair merger with UAL furloghees.
If you're not happy with the deal your UAL MEC negotiated for you, sue them or resign your number there. At least the CAL MEC didn't sell you short as a CAL pilot.
The only reason I make this ridiculous tail chase argument is that ALPA, not CAL ALPA, not UAL ALPA, but ALPA NATIONAL let this happen. The LOA legal effort has raised all of $21k today. How far will that go when you poor guys don't even know who to sue? JUST VOTE NOT ONLY NO BUT, FUPM NO.
