SENIORITY LIST INTEGRATION UPDATE - ISL PROPOSAL
As previously communicated to you, your CAL MEC Merger Committee spent this past week presenting its SLI case to the arbitration panel. Yesterday, we provided our integrated seniority list proposal to the arbitration panel as the final portion of our SLI case in chief. Please keep in mind that this is a proposal and that ultimately the panel of three neutral arbitrators will render a decision integrating the two seniority lists. The proposal is attached, or you may also navigate to CAL Pilots > Home > Merger Committee > SLI Updates.

The UAL Merger Committee will present its case in chief May 11-15 in Washington D.C. There are additional hearings scheduled for June for rebuttal presentations and possibly closing arguments. The case will be submitted to the arbitration board when both sides send in their post-hearing briefs on July 25. We anticipate that the arbitrators will then want to consider the evidence and arguments, deliberate and probably run some additional merged lists before issuing their final and binding decision.
