In accordance with precedent, why would we expect the rules to change for UAL furloughees at this time. In addition to the furlough issue, the scope that UAL has brought into the CAL operation also threatens more UAL furloughs if UAL's 70 seaters are allowed to creep into the CAL network as currently planned. If the UAL MEC were interested in the return of the UAL furloughees more than they cared about the top 500 positions, they would get past this 747 carve out and help CAL fight the 70 seat issue. Instead, they are trying to use the 70 seaters migration onto CAL property as leverage to achieve their carve out...sad.
