For a lot of the CAL guys the ISL has taken the last 3 or 4 years of advancement away from them and will lead to displacements, more training and pay cuts. I know you guys think that we should never have advanced in the first place, but let me ask you this. If you think we should have shared the advancements over the last 3 years, why do you think it's OK to take ALL the advancements over the last 3 or 4 years yourselves?
You think I'm full of BS I'm sure, so here is a quote from our merger committee so you know I'm not the only one thinking this:
"CAL pilots have returned to their seniority percentage from three years ago and the UAL pilots have gained virtually all of the block hour growth and fleet growth from the merger over the past three years."
Like I said, were not going to convince each other of anything so lets give it a rest.
Cue the "The arbs agreed with us, so we're right, nah nah nee nah nah"
You mean like the CAL guys took the last 3 years of advancements? At least now it's a level playing field except for the ridiculous 787 fence, an airplane CAL did not have on property at the merger and both airlines had orders for.
