I will agree with you however on 14-02A's impact. After the fact it's impact wasn't huge. Bid 14-02D had much greater impact. But I blame Heppner more for 14-02D than the L-CAL pilots that snookered him.
Honestly, the 756 has been going to new hires for years. How many of these were filled by LUAL returning pilots I do not know, but the BAT and the almost instantaneous reordering of the F/O ranks after SLI really made this a non event. I will agree with you about 14-02d impact. There has already been numerous grievances on that and it is still not over.
