If compensation proposal=JCBA and SLI argument=SLI arbitration then these two statements completely contradict each other. If UAL MEC wants a resolution that the JCBA (400 pay banding) will not affect the SLI then its not about seniority..right?
Am I missing something?
Same boat here. By piecing what paltry info our Union Overlords have given us it appears this all comes down to the UAL MEC (not the chair woman) wanting to reestablish the 400 as the highest pay category. Until the next update, the best answer I got is that the UAL MEC insists on taking care of the whale drivers before any other deal is done. Hey furloughed/junior UAL guys, has your MEC ever played that script before?
