The question is.. in the last 2.5 years since the merger (Oct '10 to Apr '13), what kind of movement have the middle and bottom of your list had, vs. what the CAL Pilots have had.
It will be up to the Arbitrators to determine if it's a windfall for the LUAL Pilots to use Oct '10 or a windfall for the CAL Pilots to use Apr '13. (I have moved up 15% since the Oct '10 list)
Peter, I some how feel that most CAL pilots have a hard time wrapping their head around the fact that without the merger, the above would not have been the case. No LAX, No DEN and No ORD equals no movement. The progression from the much awaited Age 65 retirements which started this past Dec 12th 2012, would not have the same positive effect on your movement as opening three new domiciles. Something CAL had not done in over 20 years. To try and use post merger gains to enhance your position is not going to fly. Never mind that most of the new B737 flying for CAL out of LAX, DEN, ORD is not really new flying to United.
