This is where the water gets muddy. If all of agree to the ALPA merger policy, then we must agree that seniority is based on several factors, it is not simply DOH, or CAT/Status. If you agree with this policy then to say that you lost 8 years of seniority is simply untrue. Placing a pilot hired at CAL in 2005 above a UAL 1998 hire doesn't cause that UAL pilot lose seniority any more than it causes a CAL pilot to gain seniority.
