If you're out of a job when the merger happens, you should go to the bottom, and be happy you weren't out of a job forever. As for longevity, 10+ years sitting at the bottom, holding NB FO does not equal 5 years of steady progression and ability to hold NB CA. Failing to take that into account results in a big windfall for the 1st guy,(which is what he's been hoping for all along)
But thats just my opinion, I could be wrong

Wow. So, If you were hired at UAL in 1999, and twice furloughed, you should be stapled at the bottom? Even if our total active time was 7+ years, we should be below a 2008 hire at CAL with 4 years active? What if we have been on the CAL side for a year or so, that's 8 +years active. You are a genius sir. I am going to ask the arbitrators to put you in the number one spot, as you deserve it. But that's just MY opinion. I could be wrong too.
