I think the major issue that most CAL pilots have how the UAL list was conceived is that the relative seniority that it shows post merger is not the same type of relative seniority that it shows pre-merger. The pre-merger seniority number is based on active, employed pilots. The post merger seniority number is based on adding over 1,200 pilots that did not hold a position as of 2010. That skews the data. So to say that a pilot's relative seniority hasn't changed is simply not accurate.

That's the perspective from this side.
