Double BK, run by scabs, treated horribly....
I can't tell you how many guys and gals I've met at UAL who gave up YEARS of CAL seniority to come over to United in the 80's and 90's. EVEN TO B SCALE!
The only factor that makes CAL look better today is the fact that they parked less airplanes. When we first approached CAL for a merger, a 1997 hire had Captain seniority. Tilton parked 100 737's to make the deal happen, and now it's supposed to destroy us in SLI.
It may hurt us, but longevity being taken into account (in the ALPA merger policy) for the first time should help balance things out a little.
The snapshot was taken over 2 years ago. Remember when they sent out the list to verify your fleet and seat? That was it.
I find it funny that the only tenet you guys hold on to is longevity.
and thanks for "CAL is scum" dig, classy.
The merger representatives shall carefully weigh all the equities inherent in their merger situation. In joint session, the merger representatives should attempt to match equities to various methods of integration until a fair and equitable integrated seniority list is reached.
Factors to be considered in constructing a fair and equitable integrated seniority list, in no particular order and with no particular weight, shall include but not be limited to the following:
(1) Career expectations.
(2) Longevity.
(3) Status and category.
