Seriously, as I said before the final list will be the list UAL proposed or really, really similar. There are no gimmicks. It's stovepiped category and class using computer based methodology to sort the silos which is almost EXACTLY what was done in USAir, DAL/NWA, and most recently Colgan/Pinnacle/Mesaba. This is not Rocket Science and ISL from recent years have all used very, very similar methodology. If you are hangin' your hat on a belief that "career expectations" are gonna change the list I think you are in for a rude awakening. I may be wrong about the furloughed pilots and they may yet end up stapled, but I would bet a LOT of money that the remainder of the list is virtually unchanged. It's Category and Class sorted by longevity how much more basic can you get.
For that matter, what magical consideration do you feel is not properly included in this break down. Give me a real verifiable measurable consideration that you honestly think the arbitrators should or even could include in addition to those that are required.
Can one CAL pilot offer a single serious, thought out, measurable addition to the computer model UAL proposed? W2s? What?
