So, according to some on here, those few will be brutally punished for leaving almighty L-UAL!!! I personally do not think that will happen. This existing scenario is what defines true seniority!!!
I believe those pilots are no longer on the L-UAL list.? The 10 year thing didn't happen until the last round? So if they were furloughed after 9-11, went to L-CAL, got called back and by-passed, they were done... could be wrong? I knew a 1st time furlough who came to Spirit, by-passed, and when it didn't work out at Spirit, had to interview at UAL again in 2008. He said no way, went to NWA, and is now at DAL...
CRAZY f'n career.
BTW, today's events puts things in perspective, especially when an 8 year old died for "nothin"...
