That's not the point. But depending on where they are *supposed* to be on the Pinnacle list or the Mesaba list, it makes a difference.

The protocol agreement already states that pilots hired after July 1 2010 at XJ/9E/9L will be ordered in DOH, below everybody else (before July 1) who will be on the ISL. Essentially, those hired after July 1 are being 'stapled' under everybody else, rightfully so because that's where they were before the merger announcement, and everyone above them is senior anyway. But I raise a good point. Where should those XJ pilots fall, now considering they had their chance to go back, and clearly, many have not. We're getting into very slippery ground here. If they didn't chose to accept recall and go back, then our updated seniority list would indicate their DOH as being whatever Summer 2010 (July, august, etc). So, they could wind up on the bottom of the list. That is why we need clarification of where they stand. If you chose to wait 60 days, then the union / company needed to come up with some agreement for these pilots to extend them their longevity credit courtesy. But nothing like that has happened. If you're a XJ furloughee, you're in a bad place to be. You've been made pawns in this game (but then again, so are the rest of us, but you are the sacrificial pawns that are moved first to be killed).
