Something to think about. Glad they will be part of the combined company, but I see it only as an act of goodwill. I see no return and actually the same pilots that take the offer may still complain that they MAY be integrated below the CAL furloughs that have just been recalled on paper. Flame away
A lot of us who have been furloughed twice are very unhappy with UALALPA. If there is any concern among CALALPA of being pushed around by the larger UALALPA after integration, any goodwill shown by CALALPA toward us would result in many of us being more loyal to CALALPA.
A few burning issues:
1) C2003 increased pilot flying hours by ~20%, leaving a lot of us on the streets for an extra couple of years.
2) Unlimited 70 seat RJs.
3) No longevity credit for furlough time.
4) The post-BK bond distribution. Those still on the street at the time of distribution received nothing.
There are more; those are just the ones that come to mind at this time.
I'll refrain from commenting publicly on SLI and what I expect UALALPA to do to those of us still on furlough.
