Honestly, if you find something that will hold water in court, please post it.
If a L-UAL pilot wanted his recall rights in that way, they should have not accepted employment at CAL. If they had gone to Skywest, they can bypass. But there won't be a CAL this time next week. Those LUAL pilots are back on property. They are effectively recalled. We won't be operating as two separate pilot groups within an airline.
What exactly is there recall to? Does it even make sense that the company is going to call pilots who are already flying and offer them a job back? That's like calling a pilot already hired and offering them a position as a new hire.
The latest MEC blast mail covered this. The company as well. There will be two more furloughed pilot updates over then next week that will explain all of this in detail.
Come Tuesday the furloughees on the property are "recalled".
As far as court, when ALPA and the company say something is that way, I don't think your vague recollection of what you were "told" or how you believe it should be is going to stand up in court.
