LUAL's hybird proposal, unprecedented.
We can go on forever. Both proposals went to the extreme, NOT just CAL. Those that find this hard to believe might be in for a big surprise.
cheers!
There are a great many "unprecedented" firsts in previous SLIs starting with the "pull & plug" methodology used in the DAL/NWA SLI, but having said that the supposed "hybrid" proposal UAL put forth simply used a mathematical algorithm to create a "stovepipe". It may look new, but in reality it is a good 'ole fashioned stovepiping of category and status. If you look you will see that CAL 777 CAPs had the same score as UAL 777 CAPs for their "hybrid" calculation.
On a separate note, the arbitrators in the DAL/NWA SLI published their results 10 days after their last executive session.
Lastly, the DAL/NWA list was mostly what the DAL pilots proposed with the exception of the 400 or so pilots from NWA who were "pulled & plugged", so I don't know where 80Kts is getting off saying it has to be a "hybrid" result from the arbs. It wasn't in DAL's case, it wasn't in AWA's case and it won't be in this case either.
Stovepiped Cat & Stat sorted by ratios or longevity. It's not rocket science. The only question for the arbs is what Cats to use.
