I should have had 600 guys below me. That coupled with the continued pilot demand and hiring at United comes from the Continental pilot group not United. I've been set back 5 years easy with the way they integrated the furlough list and despite having been recalled for 2.5 years I will likely get furloughed soon after being pushed to the bottom. I can't wait to see the justification for how they integrated the furloughed guys. Not sure I can ever respect the UAL group at this point...we did the "right thing" and got United guys a pay check and it turned out to screw us.
So many problems with this post...
The snapshot date was 2010, so having furloughed UAL guys flying at CAL had NO IMPACT on the decision (since it happened AFTER that date). JP has you guys so brainwashed that the last 3 years of activity matters that you can't be brought to understand the truth (anything after 2010 did not count!)
The CAL pilots did not offer jobs to our furloughees. The company realized that we are now operating as UAL, so obviously calling UAL pilots first made the most sense for management.
It seems like you have a problem with ALPA merger policy. Maybe Brucia will go change it again...
