If we are going to reinvent the travel wheel for furloughees, then it has to apply to EVERYONE. Not a carve out for those few.
It was a carve out that LOA 25 created. Why do you support making a new carveout?
The wheel won't be a wheel. It'l be a rhombus. No way to do it.
Many, and I mean many COEX pilots while placed at COEX, were actually hired by CAL because they actually had the flight time to fly in the left seat. So, DOH for many, and I mean many COEX pilots is perfectly fair. Many, and I mean many CAL flight engineers didn't have an ATP. They went to mainline. If you had an ATP, CAL assigned you to COEX to fly as a Captain. No way to reinvent the wheel, the square, or the parallelogram.
Post 1994, I would agree with you. pre 1994 I would not.
