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.
I remember having the exact same arguments, I was a 777 FO at MAD and the mega junior IRO’s were all using the same way to calculate overall system seniority percentage. They were convinced they were right and I told them to prepare to be disappointed.
