This is a false statement. This is the entire purpose in breaking my silence.
If I could change 3-B-3 to say: All pilots
on the system seniority list shall continue to accrue longevity when on furlough, then I would. That would be the cleanest solution to the problem before us.
But it doesn't and because it doesn't, it only applies to future furloughs.
I think a lot a pilots are under the impression that if LOA 25, paragraph 4 goes away that they get what they want. It is just the opposite. They forfeit the protections contained in LOA 25 absent any specific language to the contrary.
I don't want guys hanging their hat on something that isn't there.
