Lee...the verbiage in the award is no pre-merger L-CAL or pre-merger L-UAL pilot..may bid into these aircraft (747 or 787). They are pre-merger L-UA pilots and represented by the L-UA MC? Caveat is un filled seats etc...Based on the award, seems to me that no L-UA furloughee or active pilot and/or L-CAL pilot has rights to the others (787/747)aircraft until the fence comes down. I do think they can bid the 747, if there seniority could hold...
That was how it was explained to me by the MC as well....
