So an 11 year United pilot that goes to the bottom of Continentals list should waive his rights to be integrated into the combined list? Really? The new "United" will be paying for any additional cost associated with hiring a furloughed United pilot, not CAL ALPA. I'll self censor and stop there....[/quote]

My response:

Where the *&*( did I say that? The final SLI has nothing to do with the accepting of this offer. The latest CAL statements imply that the recalled CAL furloughs may well be considered active prior to the SLI. Since there are no UAL recalls, it really doesnt matter if you have 11 years or 21 years, if you arent on property, then you arent on property. Not for us to decide and my statement had nothing to do with SLI. My comment was that there may be UAL pilots who decide to take the goodwill job given to them from CAL, not UAL. But also in the same breath be unhappy that they MAY be placed below ACTIVE RECALLED CAL PILOTS. If I had 11 years at UAL and I was furloughed Id be ****ed too. But I wouldnt blame the CAL guys, no matter their seniority. 12 years here can get you 756 Captain.
