What happens to a LUAL Furloughee/LCAL NewHire? He or she (might) move ahead of some on their respective BES.. but which old contract do they fall under?
Hopefully at this time next week the ISL chapter of this merger is complete and we continue to move forward..
BUT, this "merger" won't be complete for at least another year.
Only when ever pilot is operating under the new JCBA, every section of the JCBA is implemented, and every pilot can fly all the planes in their respective BES.. will we be merged.

Most of the JCBA sections should come on line here in the 4th quarter as they kick in with a combined CMS. Combined CMS MUST happen prior to the implementation of the new FAR 117 rules. Each airline has a plan as to when to flip that switch but it has to happen prior to the effective date in Jan 14. While yes there will still be some contract issues for a few months, most of those will drop off the plate in just a few months.
