That's exactly what I'm saying.
If you lost your "position" as a result, then you have a claim. "Position" does not include base.

Lawyers like the "but for" test. Apply it here.
Quite a few guys would have been able to hold their "position", albeit in a new base, "but for" the single seniority list. Therefore C&R #3 was violated.

Ipso facto. Presto chango.

What the heck. If the NWA Merger dudes forced an expensive arbitration by saying that 777s that were already on property are replacement jets for 747s that haven't even left the property, then this claim has at least that much merit.
Two can play that game.

And I'm just getting started. Give me a couple days to dream up some more. I'll claim that my claim is a claim, in and of itself, and therefore I have a claim. Just like Northwest. The Committee will deadlock. Just like Northwest.
