The UAL SPSC Chairman and his right hand man both explained that LOA 25 was NOT a last minute deal by Pierce/Baron/Cook to grab seniority. It was done to help ALL pilots. It was further explained that if the TPA expires, there will be no benefit to the CAL pilots by way of UAL losing flying to our benefit. It was explained that the UAL side would only revert to their 2003 protections. They explained that all the fear factor rumors out there regarding shooting down this TA and then LUAL furloughing while LCAL grew were unfounded.
