Not true. A large majority are guys and gals that have worked previously for United for a period of 2 - 8 months. They were on probation pay and returned on 1st year pay. Then out of the goodness of the CAL and UAL MEC's, they were given longevity credit for those 2-8 months of service so as to avoid working an entire year before moving to second year CAL pay. Now with this TA, they gain another huge windfall-80%-100% credit for time spent on furlough. Happy for them, but how can one group get something that they were not contractually entitled to and another group (99-01hires) get completely left out. The way it is written we will only get credit for time actively working. Also, until SLI, a guy who has 2 months of previous active service will be paid exactly the same as the guy who has 2 furloughs behind him and 7.5 years of active service. Who thinks this stuff up? Please support the pending lawsuit.
