You have pilots that were barely holding RSV Airbus in the most junior LUAL base back in 2010 that are now senior line holders in all bases!!!
There were over 600 plus pilots that were unemployed (from LUAL) placed in front of active LCAL pilots! Not only did this screw the bottom third LCAL pilots, it also skewed a huge portion of the overall award for the LUAL side. LUAL brought 7400 pilots to the merger but only 6000 jobs! You guys threw a hissy fit over the CAL proposal that placed furloughed CAL pilots ahead of active UAL pilots. Yet, it's all of a sudden fair and equitable when the roles are reversed???
Let's stop the nonsense. This list was no where near fair and equitable.
Whoa! Your numbers are WAY off dude.
Bottom UAL pilots put at 70%???? GMAB.
The LUAL guys I know (that were furloughed) were basically stapled. They went in front of a few VERY junior CAL guys.
The reality is that the top of the list got pretty close to DOH. After 1996…the CAL guys started gaining ground in a MAJOR way (LCAL 2005 hires going senior to 1998 LUAL hires who had NEVER been furloughed).
If we had known that your SLI negotiating team was going to be SO bad…we could have really gotten more. The arbitrators basically threw your list out since it was so ridiculous (staple bottom 2,800 LUAL pilots under your most junior 2010 hire….including active Captains!).
