Make one thing clear - if you look at the background of al the things listed in the post, the UAL MEC actions were in reaction to misguided deeds of the cal MEC and their mc.
Not to point the author out - he's a good guy. But he made some strong claims of losing a 7 years seniority if the UAL SLI proposal is accepted - would any of our cal brothers like to support his claim - APC225, a good neutral and capable, you want to chime in with a true assessment?
I'll give it a shot on Bens claim of potentially losing 7 years. In the Ual sli proposal, Ben is 1 number senior to me. He is a 2005 hire at Cal. I am a 9-14-1998 hire at Ual. I have been at ual the entire time and I was lucky enough to not have been furloughed. It would seem to me that he gains 7 years vice losing that time. I no longer have the Ual proposal so I don't know if Bens relative seniority in this proposal was a gain or a loss but I suspect it was a loss. R/S......sluggo
