Problem is, how long will it take for SLI completion?
We all have our resources. None of mine are on the CAL side of the equation. We'll sit back and see what the new JCBA says on the subject. Of course, we'll see that any day now........Originally Posted by fanaticalflyer
Datake is totally correct. This question has been posed to several UAL LECs and furloughees will not get longevity credit unless it's specifically stipulated in the new JCBA, and every rumor until now says it's not in there! Additionally, it has not been written specifically that longevity at UAL will apply after the SLI, but rumors have it, that it WILL apply and combine your years, since there is suppose to be "no distinction of UAL vs CAL pilots after SLI implementation". Anyone else that comments to the contrary with no support, needs to keep their pinhole shut. Datake is correct and his fears are substantiated. Also, the odds of furloughees getting full longevity is a super long shot. CAL MEC does NOT want it, for fear that it will affect their pilot group. Does't matter that pay longevity should have no effect on SLI longevity, but they don't get it. And you aren't going to convince them otherwise so it will go to arbitration and each MEC will argue their points then. Problem is, how long will it take for SLI completion?
And, really, lighten up a bit. I understand this is a contentious issue. People can have differing opinions. Mine is that payrate is a function of the collective bargaining agreement, or in our situation, the TPA until the JCBA becomes effective. SLI is the next step in the process.
