Amazingly not all CAL Pilots will benefit from a relative seniority merger. If I were to receive DOH, (1987), I'd be in much better shape. Only question I'm asking is what would be the most fair in a one size fits all world.
Relative seniority, like it or not, puts you pretty much where you would be on your own list and isn't a wild gyration one way or the other.
Granted an arbitrator will probably hack up our list in pieces and do whatever it is he sees as fair but if he has to choose one method, it would probably be relative seniority.
