If this is true for CAL pilots as well, I have a new understanding. It would appear that they are getting NO longevity for time on furlough.
Is this true? If that section only applies to future furloughees, then the only section that applies to past furloughees would be LOA 25, which ONLY applies to L-UAL pilots. In other words, we are getting something that they are not.
Wow - that changes my entire perspective. It would then seem that LOA 25 is to protect CAL pilots from UAL pilots having so much longevity restored that it would move them well above CAL pilots in longevity - while the CAL pilots had no furlough time restored.
