Some folks on here really, truly make me laugh. We have an "Entitlement Attitude"?

UAL proposed a computer based methodology that awards pilots a numerical score based on Category and Class, and Longevity. We then take said numbers and create a list based not on emotion, DOH, or some vague sense of who had better career expectations and the resulting list shows how WE feel entitled?? I'm sorry, but I see UAL as behaving logically, methodically, and in good faith. I see the CAL side in hysterics thinking that their fast moving career has been wrecked by the merger and the SLI.


I can tell you first hand that aside from the dozen or two UAL pilots on APC the vast majority of UAL line pilots have no idea what is going on and could care less because they know they will never have any input and the result will be what it is. To make statements that impugn the entire UAL pilot group as feeling out of touch, entitled, or any other such slander only shows how emotionally distraught some folks have become. I hope those folks from either UAL or CAL who have personalized this issue online will behave better when they meet on the line.



I'll say it again; I'll bet 100:1 the board is going to use the list exactly as proposed by UAL, and I'll be the first to come online in September and "eat crow" if I'm wrong.

Did anyone else notice how Arbitrator Eischen asked if the computer program used to build the UAL list could be made available to the board? And, let's not forget when he specifically asked Katz for a "stip" (stipulation) that no matter where the 7-B pilots ended up the CAL MEC would accept the boards decision.
