Gotta disagree with you on pay for longevity after ISL. In case 3, after ISL that pilot is at 6.5 (5 active years at UAL + 1.5 at CAL), regardless of whether the next CAL pilot has more or less. That 6.5 CANNOT be reduced after ISL. I think it is pretty clear in the example.
So I have 8 years at UAL and currently zero at CAL. I go to CAL in Jan. If the TA passes I will be at 5 year than 8 years (plus a couple months served at CAL) after ISL, at a MINIMUM. While I'm completely on your side regarding everything else, I think you are reading into this a little to deep trying to find something that isn't there.
Secondly, longevity time for vacation accrual is changed in this TA to reflect ONLY active time. While it is a concession over the current UA contract, the TA doesn't give furloughed CAL pilots any advantage here.
