"Premium flying" must now be considered,
along with career expectations, longevity, and status and category.
"the UAL Committee will create two separate lists – one ordering pilots based on status and category and one ordering them based on longevity. We will then combine the two to create a hybrid output. That approach will correct for the longevity-based inequities that would follow from relying strictly on status and category, including the potential placement of United furloughees with significant longevity (large numbers of whom will have been recalled by the time the list is effective or who are already working) and the potential “glass ceiling” blocking of UAL first officers' with substantial longevity (and the career expectation of holding widebody captain positions) by younger CAL pilots with less longevity.
Second, the UAL Committee's proposal will include reasonable, limited conditions and restrictions. In recognition of the premium flying that each pilot group enjoyed prior to the merger, the UAL Committee will propose protection for both groups' pilots to perform such flying in proportion to their pre-merger expectations, and flying on any replacement aircraft, for a limited time. Similarly, in recognition of the desirability of United's domiciles and the fact that CAL pilots have already obtained numerous positions and upgrades at UAL domiciles as a result of the over three year delay between the MAD and the date an ISL can be placed into effect, the United Committee will propose limited protections for UAL pilots in these domiciles.
Finally, to address any concerns arising from the fact that the UAL Committee's proposal will integrate UAL pilots who were furloughed at the time of the merger announcement with CAL pilots who were not, the UAL Committee proposal will include limited protection for junior CAL pilots who might otherwise be exposed to furlough as a result of this proposed integration."
