Kinda funny, the West complained about our (East) pay rates, and now we have a 3rd lister is complaining about our previous pay rates.
"Third lister" was a concept that existed under the 2005 TA. Technically there is no longer a "third list" where all USAir pilots hired after the 2005 TA were guaranteed to be junior to USAir pilots hired before the 2005 TA. The concept of a third list is not only a legal nullity now, it is also unfair from a perspective of LOS and relative position.
