What is the value in a pilot who cannot hold a seat but being paid for that seat? Please explain and please don’t use the pounce excuse.

Haha, as I thought-BS, 31 years with Ual you say? Idk what's worse, your take on the agreement or you math skills? try 22 years? Well lucky for you, you had a military job to go back to that likely paid you more than you were making at Ual-you were more fortunate than most-myself included. Thanks for your service btw! Did you read the TA? If your displacement was canceled, you're going back to your seat. How is that not a seat you're holding? Even for those in the middle group that didn't have their displacement cancelled but were lets say 737 capt, 737 fo pay at current line values is lucky to get 73 hours vs 52 hours at pay protected capt pay=$500 more. Really sticking it to ya!
