Relative seniority is the only fair integration for both sides, if you are 50% you stay 50%. How much fairer can you get.
I have no doubt CAL ALPA is saying that. Now, go read the the active merger policy available on the ALPA website. Then, approach the process from a neutral standpoint. Better yet, read the USAIR Nicolau ruling and read CALs own pilot member and his issues with the determination for failing to take longevity into account. Believe his name is Bruschia.
Then come back and try again. You guys set the stage for the new policy. BTW, I believe he is on your merger commitee as well.
