CAL recalled the 147 furloughs during the SLI process (before it was completed) and there was upward movement to include CAL hiring UAL furloughs.
That was the thought process at least for the CAL SLI guys. I thought that argument was total BS.
Unfortunately, that would come back to bite the CAL guys when there were furloughed UAL pilots placed on top of CAL guys who were never furloughed.
But that's ancient history.
