Just to point out the misguided perception that some pilots have about SLI. The fact that a pilot was furloughed or active didn't matter and this is why.

The list was created from the top down. Slots were created and pilots were put in them. If a pilot from the other side was senior to you, it was because a slot for that airline existed. It didn't matter what pilot was there. Just a pilot from the other airline.

The large number of status and category of 777 and 747 Cap created a large number at the top for UAL pilots. The smallest categories were furloughed for both sides and narrowbody FO, which were mostly slots for LCAL pilots to fill since those were the jobs they brought to the merger.

If a pilot on furlough is placed ahead of active and they don't come back, then the active pilot moves up a position.

So overall it cancels out since they will not all come back.

It was a fair SLI and I am not happy being placed with pilots who were junior to me previously but I can live with it.
