I lost nothing and ended up with a little more than 3% bump in relative seniority. Of course if you include the CNPs, that percentage change is greater, but that isn't a good comparison to where we all were when this started.
Some of my friends aren't happy and are saying they are losing seniority, but maybe I am just more objective than many are being. Compare apples to apples, not apples to Harleys. I crunch their numbers and they just don't like the answer I give them.
This is done....it's time to move on. Am I really the only L-CAL pilot not upset or mad about the new list?
The introduction of 1400+ furloughed pilots into the active mix of both CAL and UAL and using 2010 list, negatively impacted the back half of the CAL list and future bidding, but not so for the back half of the UAL active pilots....they got bumps and we got dumped....so I've not met any CAL pilot that is happy with the list. Perhaps on an individual basis, some did ok but as a group of CAL active pilots, we got our heads handed too us.
BTW...kudos to the UA MC...they orchestrated and played the changes to the ALPA merger policy too their strong advantage and the arbitrators believed in their methodology.
