So what are you saying? Walk in with a proposal that stapled all CAL guys below the UAL guys. The arbitrators wouldn't have gone for that like they didn't go for the CAL's proposal. Not one UAL pilot wanted to see another UAL pilot furloughed and to imply the reverse is true does a disservice to all that have worked and sacrificed to help the furloughed. The UAL MEC has done a good job of representing the furloughed, especially during the SLI and should be commended for that work.

Let's put the ball in your court. What would you have done differently that would have carved out a better results for the furloughed in the SLI? Remember it would have to pass the smell test and approved by the three arbitrators.
