CALEX pilots came to CAL and in exchange, if there were ever a furlough ("that'll never happen") then CAL pilots (all of them, not just ex-CALEX) had rights to positions at CALEX by best DOH at either one. In the 2002 furloughs, only the most recent new hires could not hold positions at either, based on seniority, but most did. It would have been exceptionally beneficial if UAL had been able to secure these flow back rights when they entered their RJ buy, regardless of how many were bought.
