Well this statement certainly blows the UAL "career expectations" out of the water. I've been at CAL since mid 1998, flowed back to Express for eight months, and have been a captain at CAL for five years. Guess CAL pilots career expectations must be a LOT better than L-UAL. 

See, two can play that game.

You've illustrated my concern, though. There is a post about United pilots somehow getting a seniority bump through the merger and now holding Captain spots (turned out to be false). This is followed up by a post jockeying for position about career expectation. No matter how this all goes, there are going to be some pilots that get "hosed" and some that get a windfall. We all need to remember that it is going to feel world-class cruddy for those that don't fare as well in the SLI, and show a little tact.

Not really. If UAL had stayed independent, I would have been top 10 when I retire. So that's the CAREER expectation I have going into this. Time will tell if that career expectation is honored. I have my guess.. We just have different blocks of heavy retirements.

1437 pilots have NO CAREER EXPECTATIONS when they are UNEMPLOYED! You don't understand that? Basic 101 stuff. BTW, how much longevity do you accrue when you're unemployed? My guess is ZERO..................
