ARBITRATION PRE-HEARING STATEMENT OF THE CONTINENTAL PILOTS’ MERGER COMMITTEE
The Continental Merger Committee proposes to integrate the Continental and United pilot seniority lists by merging Captains with Captains and First Officers with First Officers. Although many have advocated extreme positions in prior cases involving seniority list integration (SLI), the Continental Merger Committee has determined that proposing a reasonable resolution of this dispute will better serve the interests of the combined pilot group. Thus, notwithstanding the superior equities the Continental pilots bring to the merged airline, we offer the Arbitration Board a moderate proposal, which it can adopt as its own.
