The 1400 furloughed UAL pilots ALREADY paid for this merger....with their jobs. The grounding of the 737s (and subsequeant furloughs) was nothing more than "right-sizing" UAL for the merger, which was set into motion 2 years ago. The cart was put before the horse and furloughs occurred before the announcement. Pure semantics.
So your "take it form Peter (CAL bottom 1/3rd) to pay Paul (the UAL furloughees)" rings hollow. The furloughees have already "paid". Time for payback in the form of rightful seniority integration.
I'm sure you have heartburn with this but I can only imagine the screaming and stomping of feet if the shoe was on the other foot. I can only hope this SLI gets done, we move on, and realize the potential of this merger.
What would that rightful seniority integration be? How would you do it so that it's fair?Originally Posted by SOTeric
