Exactly. I’m a L-CAL guy and my friends were ****ed with the SLI. They claimed they lost so much seniority. I asked how? They claimed their percentage went down. When they explained it was obvious they were including all the UAL furloughs hired at CAL while waiting on merger integration as being part of the CAL pilot group. When I showed them that only including L-CAL people as was the correct method they ended up the same or slightly better, they weren’t buying it. Could talk until I was blue in the face and they didn’t understand you can’t mix the two. A pilot can’t work for two companies at once and be counted on both lists merging into one. So, yes, the drama comes from their unrealistic understanding of who was on each pre-merger list on the original date.
