And longevity didn't benefit "The UAL Pilots". It benefited pilots who had more longevity on both sides. CAL had hired a full 1/3rd of their seniority list in the 5 years prior to the merger.
Keep arguing the 0% longevity argument all you want. You did and it didn't work when it counted. No one reading this can change it. The hard-over attitude to staple the UAL furloughed pilots (but somehow not the furloughed CAL pilots who didn't bring a job to the merger either) will always be remembered by those pilots. Why don't you tell it to them in person next time you see them?
The SLI is done and in place forever, or until the next merger.
Sure...but your memory fails to remember that the longevity attributed to CAL pilots was the one decided by UAL merger committee and lawyers using the erronous Zeus databas, that CAL management didn't even maintain current...also UAL added over 1000 unemployed pilots to their list thus enlarging their pilot count compared to CAL pilots on a list were all pilots would not get equal benefit of an inflated pilot count...
