I think this quote sums it up. Set up an unreasonable expectation, and then hope to get "middle ground".
How can you be angry with having CAL pilots senior to UAL pilots hired 8 years before them, and everyone staying within a couple percent of their pre-merger percentage?
Lemme guess, you were hoping 3,000 UAL pilots would get stapled, making the 100% bottom CAL pilot on the list magically 3,000 from the bottom overnight?
Ya, that's reasonable.
