It WAS. Those U-hires appeared TWICE on the CAL proposed list. They appeared as CAL pilots (junior to Yost to make CAL look like a bigger pilot group) and AGAIN at the very bottom of the 3,000 United pilots that were stapled. As a friend of mine put it “CAL proposed stapling me behind myself”.
This was based on the mythical 2013 merger date. They also wanted all the post-merger hires as CAL because that’s the side they were flying on. A total cluster****.

BOTH merger committees were trying to get the best result possible for their side. BOTH proposals were biased to favor their side. Neither side were saints.
The award is done...tired of hearing complaining about proposals and awards. Move forward or go sulk privately at home so the rest of us can have peace.

true. It’s just that every now and then someone posts some complete BS, which needs to be corrected for historical accuracy. That’s been done here. Time to turn the page.

I taught a 16 year old kid to fly a long while ago, and next thing you know he's my base chief pilot at my airline...(really)...

Not really. Previously, the downgrade required basically nothing. In fact qualified captains used to be able to be assigned FO trips on reserve not all that long ago on the 737 and A320. This is a step in the right direction.
