Agreed. And that ****es me off too. BUT, you took a job at CAL for the greater of your furloughed pay rate or their longevity pay rate. This contract gives you 5th year pay at DOS, which is greater than your actual longevity at CAL and roughly $115 per hour (still pay protected to your UAL furloughed rate if greater). That is about a $30 per hour raise from 7th year UAL pay, right? Then after SLI/OMD you go to 9th year (UAL+CAL) that's $125 as a minimum and possibly more depending on the post SLI furlough credit adjustment. Vote no if you want, just make sure you consider the business side as well as the emotional side. Put some bread on the table while you fight the longevity issue.
