That was primarily due to the pull/plug. Those were hardly the most senior pilots.
For everyone else... wherever you were on your pre-mergerl list is where you likely ended up on the combined list.
SLI's are always interesting. The guys that are hardcore that their side is right are the ones that always end up the most upset.
You mean like the UAL proposal where everyone was within 5% and that was labeled as "extreme", and the CAL proposal where pilots on the very bottom of the CAL list who were on furlough somehow got 3,000 UAL pilots stapled below them going from 100% to 75% overnight and that was OK?
