With all due respect, the UAL SLI proposed placing you at 75%, which is 3% different than you were on the merger date. (You were 72% based on the list that CAL MC provided at the hearing).
I don't see how 3% translates to 7 years.
Also, those UAL pilots who are equivalent seniority to you were hired at UAL in 1998 and never furloughed. So they are not thrilled being the same seniority as someone hired in 2005 at CAL.
Of course the arbitrators can give as much weight to longevity as they like, so maybe its more or less than the UAL proposal....
We will all know soon.
