You'll find out what the UAL SLI proposal is on the 15th of April. I believe you will be surprised at how middle of the road it is. Meaning not WAAAY out in left field like yours. At least the proposal will not staple 37% of the CAL list.

Sled, good point on we will find out, but if you read the UA opening statement, especially the last few pages and understand their concept, it's a staple and flip the seniority job in the offering. It is too place furloughed pilots at UA ahead of CAL active pilots. Did not say intermingle with both pilot groups junior list, because of course all involuntary furloughed UA pilots have to be junior to the most current UA pilot. Effectively, swap positions with CAL junior pilots , intermingle with furloughed pilots and place them in the furlough risk window, when many are currently outside that window at CAL. If so what happens to the 97-99 hires ( bottom of UA active list)..they move up significantly in seniority. Now, here's the kicker. Your Merger committee is suppose to to that in these proceedings. If they said, we will place UA furloughed behind any active pilot, you guys would go crazy, because perhaps your committe is not representing all YOUR pilots. I would agree. Their allegiance is not to me or any other CALmpilot wrt to fair and equiteable seniority list, but the UA pilots...that's why the arbitrators will see through both sides maneuvering and render a fair and equitable list.
