(I notice that you are conveniently ignoring the "windfall" portion of the merger policy). Merger policies and arguments aside though, how is that even fair much less ETHICAL!?!
Most UAL pilots voted yes on this contract under the guise of forging a new unity. To believe that a furloughed pilot has the above entitlement destroys unity!
No, most UAL pilots voted to end the huge windfall you've enjoyed for at least the last 3 years. You're whipsaw perch is over and hopefully we can unite but if not...oh we'll. How ethical was it that one party did 90% of the redundancy cuts to make this mutual agreement happen? It's a fact that sUAL couldn't have filled their WB seats wo CAL's NB feed into sUAL hubs, but don't expect you to admit that either. You benefited from our cuts period and the rank and file UAL pilot is sick of it. That is what drove the votes. OBTW, who buys the "superior CAL management" baloney anymore...don't here that too much anymore except when I here the excuse of how bad UAL was is the cause of our current problems 2 years later....kinda like "it's Bush's fault".
