Are you really arguing that your career would have not been better (earnings, seat, and seniority QOL) as a 90's hire at cal? If that is what you are saying, then I want what your drinking. This is all mental stroking, but the facts remain 06 and 05 hires are 73 and 756 Ca's respectively at cal. That could change slightly in the SLI, but no windfalls dictate that you cannot punish a person for the company they chose, or where they are at that company. Your relative seniority will have the most effect on your position, along with small adjustments of seats, longevity, and career expectations... If you don't expect reality, you will be sadly disappointed when it is published...
Oh, and those CA's are 'hanging on' as in a previous post.
If you honestly think 2005 CAL pilots are going to get stacked on top of '96 UAL pilots during the SLI, then I want some of what you're smoking. CAL junior captains, enjoy your seat now until the next furlough/surplus cycle. Absent that, enjoy sitting reserve for the next 10 years.f
