I love these completely broad brush posts that vilify or "congratulate" (which really isn't a congratulations as well all know but a subtle jab instead) an entire pilot group that had zero to do with the pre-merger Capt slots or this so-called "highly effective" fence. 99.99999999% of the L-CAL line pilots are just that…line pilots…and have zero to do with the internal politics.
But yeah…I guess thanks…for your congrats.

I agree with your post. And it was the LUAL side that pushed for the fences, not LCAL. In retrospect, it would have been more advantageous for LUAL to push for a better SLI without no fences.
