They are treating us as CAL pilots in perptuity, even after the SLI and not giving us credit for the time we actively flew at United, much less for the time we flew at United + CAL and certainly not for our time on furlough. Our MEC has sold us out with the no furlough language, the bond distribution, the inclusion of this letter etc, do you think they are going to fight til the death for us now?
Just because you keep saying it, doesn't make it true....
From the MEC Update Nov 20:
Scenario 3: Twice-furloughed pilot now working at CAL. Three years UAL, then another two years UAL, and 1.5 years at CAL.
At Date of Signing, the pilot will be adjusted to 4 years 7 months of longevity for pay purposes at CAL. This longevity will be improved after SLI by combining his UAL and CAL longevity. Additionally, for pay it may be improved by the SLI process as described in Scenario 2 above. This UAL furloughee working at CAL is considered a “CAL pilot” but is pay protected at his UAL pay rate. That pilot will see a potential increase in pay longevity to 5th year TA rates if the new rate is higher than the previous protected rate. After the completion of the ISL a second adjustment of his pay longevity will be computed to account for his
time on furlough. This added pay longevity will be capped so as to not exceed the longevity of the CAL pilot just senior to him on the ISL. This pilot will NOT lose any longevity and can only improve upon his 6.5 years of longevity for pay.
After ISL this pilot’s full earned longevity (CAL plus UAL) will apply.
1. An L-UAL pilot may only GAIN longevity for pay from the TA-mandated process. He will never lose pilot longevity which he has already attained through work for L-UAL and/or L-CAL.
I don't know how much more clear I can make it. YOU WILL NOT LOSE LONGEVITEY. PERIOD. Why do you keep on saying it?
