I know you want to count the 2013 list percentage as your benchmark, but that's just a failed argument no one bought. LUAL pilots sat patiently and waited while LCAL pilots came into our bases and took our Captain positions, but now that the flying has been so co-mingled its all UAL flying, you are in uproar.
How are United pilots bidding to fly United airplanes in United bases, something we "aren't entitled to"?
Parden me, but if the flying you ascribe to above was "your flying, your captain's seats" , then why wasn't L-UAL crews doing that flying with L-UAL metal? And don't blow the virtual merger smoke/crap ... Absent the change in merger policy, IF the 3 panel arbs had based the award on the past 20 years of merger/integration precedent, this SLI would have been a straight Cat/Status ratio based on the lists as of MCD .... how any L-UAL guy can't understand this is almost beyond some of the arrogance many on this forum exhibit ... Your group gained at the expense of the L-Cal group, thanks to the change in merger policy ... Your own MC/MEC said it best: "unprecedented".
True unity will not be found until the majority of the L-UAL group accepts the windfall as such, with a measure of gratitude.
