The Cal guy is ****ed because he cant hold Capt anymore. The '98 Ual hire is upset because they "lost 8 yrs" expecting that the '06 hire at Cal should just step aside and give up their seat because thats the way DOH works. The Cal '06 hire is thinking Cal woulda just been rainbows and unicorns for the rest of their career and this merger is total BS. Ual guys claiming junior Cal pilots made a seniority "grab".....nobody else senior wanted the f#$@ing seat! Would those same Ual guys have rather had the Den 737 capt seats go super senior to the Cal side?....after all it is Denver and EVERYbody wants to live there!??! The Cal Iah 767 guys are ****ed because of the Ual metal in their base. The 787 fence is hurting alot more on both sides than it is helping....most of the pain to the L-Ual widebodies its displacing, but looky here: its even hurting guys like me way out in Ewr...every person who bids out to sparky is being backfilled by a senior L-Ual guy.
Good luck winning your own argument with somebody who will NEVER see it your way! Now i gotta go pack the cooler.... good boating weekend ahead!
