This one will be laughed out of the courtroom. Unfortunately, our dues will have to pay very expensive lawyers to defend this.
From 1996 forward, CAL guys were put in front of guys with more longevity from the UAL side. I personally know guys hired in 2005 on the CAL side that were put with 1998 hires on the UAL side. For some, that was like getting hired while still in high school! The CAL guys GAINED 7 years, but the lawsuit claims that they LOST decades!
Let's just make sure we remember their names.
It was flipped on the senior side, so I'm guessing these pilots are all senior LCAL. I had a senior LCAL pilot on my Jumpseat prior to the SLI telling me how DOH was the fair way to do the SLI. I simply suggested that the bottom 70% of the LCAL pilots wouldn't find that appetizing.
Seems to be a trend. On the LUAL side we had a senior group of pilots sue ALPA after the Ch11 bond distribution because the method that most favored them wasn't followed. Of course that methodology had the bottom half of the list getting NOTHING. I have no use for any of them. I hope the lawyers get SICKENINGLY rich.
