Long term, this could be the ultimate divide and conquer by the company. Not only do they hate us, but they have another pilot group to replace us with.
So lets extrapolate this into the next economic downturn. UAL decides to park 400's and a bunch of airbuses and furlough 2000 pilots. Again. They submit displacements, and then retrain UAL pilots 1st, and leave CAL pilots' in the left seats, out of seniority. Then stop the bumps and retraining, for 3-5 years.
Sound far-fetched? To me, no more far-fetched than disregarding completely the arbitrators's decision.
Very troubling.
