Do you have ANY idea of the irreparable harm that would do to MY career and retirement while greatly ENHANCING the careers of the junior CAL pilots?

Once again, the fact that CAL guys can somehow rationalize this is beyond me. I certainly don't wish the same level of career destruction on them. Looking at the proposed CAL SLI, the one word that comes to mind is, "sociopath". Take everything I can at the expense of others, get an incredible windfall at the expense of others. Kinda like the people that cross a picket line, in my mind .. step on whoever to get what they have.

Not looking for sympathy, but understand why soooo many United pilots feel betrayed by their supposed CAL "brethren" that want to destroy 16 years of our sweat equity.
