It's a total screw job for the CAL side (again) that allows UAL side pilots to exercise the super seniority (reference the egregious SLI "award") to "bump" relatively junior CAL side pilots without the company having to incur training costs of displacements.
Basically it allows for UAL pilots to get into a base without there being openings while simultaneously saving the company money in training costs.
Once again another screw job by ALPA and for ALPA....what's new? This crap ought to be illegal but I suspect they'll get away with it as usual.
