It WAS. Those U-hires appeared TWICE on the CAL proposed list. They appeared as CAL pilots (junior to Yost to make CAL look like a bigger pilot group) and AGAIN at the very bottom of the 3,000 United pilots that were stapled. As a friend of mine put it “CAL proposed stapling me behind myself”.
This was based on the mythical 2013 merger date. They also wanted all the post-merger hires as CAL because that’s the side they were flying on. A total cluster****.
