I am not sure the recalls will be that messy. The big 756 bump is another matter. Recalling furloughees and bumping 800 pilots simultaneously. LMAO. Only at UAL.
I only see this whole thing going smoothly if the company just happens to get lucky. There is no way they are smart enough to get it right. Not in a million years.
Everyone will use their new number immediately. Let me give you an example why...
A freshly recalled UAL pilot bids 737 F/O next month in IAH. By your arguments, he will be able to use his proper seniority at that point. Since you contend that the current LUAL guys can't use their new seniority number, the newly recalled guy is now bidding senior to other LUAL guys on the 737 list who are senior to him!
Can you see how that just doesn't work?
