It doesn't matter now because its in the hands of the arbitrators.

You guys keep quoting the talking points, but no one reading this board is on the arbitration panel and actually looking at the data shows the truth.

I'd be shocked if one United pilot had a lower relative seniority than they currently have, if not much higher, including the pilots on furlough, who are obviously coming back to the property, hence have a great career expectation.

I have now read everything. Thank You! :)

The above is cut and pasted from the new JCBA. Does this mean the SLI is already done? The UAL and CAL sides both voted on it.

Please don't flame me for this, but this is from the contract. I won't argue one way or another how it should be done.

Maybe JP was so busy trying to write LOA 25, he forgot to read the fine print...........


I realize you guys are all havin' a rockin' good time arguing over something we can't control, BUT I just thought I would address the OP's actual question:



Does this mean the SLI is already done?
It appears to me that Mr. Probe (the OP) was looking at the words "shall be placed . . . and shall retain . . . effective on the DOH" and hinting that Jay Pierce had missed the fine print and DOH was a forgone conclusion because the contract specifies exactly that in the opening paragraph.


Ahh, sorry Mr. Probe, but I do believe that would be a mistaken interpretation of the language. 1) The "Seniority List" is what the SLI is building, and 2) the paragraph is talking about new hires. You get added to the list when you get hired, and you keep your relative position until the day you die or until some judge says otherwise based on some future airline nonsense.

Just tryin' to stay focused ;)

Again, thanks to the merger.

So if you think those pilots deserve anything other than staple to the bottom of the combined list, perhaps they should take their red clips and entitled attitudes back out on furlough, and await recall to the L-UAL side, since its obviously been such a great career for them :rolleyes:

Well, perhaps you should talk to your fellow "red clip" brethren
who walk around the IAH schoolhouse with the biggest chip on their
shoulders- one that would get them pulled out and sent packing if they were probationary.

They act like entitled victims, and refuse to return a friendly hello. On the line they talk about "getting their left seat BACK after SLI" - BACK! When was a 99 hire a CA? Where were you when CAL was hiring in 05 ? You could have applied here. Probably too good for CAL is my guess.

We aren't the ones who drove your airline into the dirt, that would be your MGT. Be angry at Glenn and CO.

I used to be pretty neutral, but my attitude changed after steady exposure to this kind of nonsense.
I'm actually a generous and humble guy to fly with, but I absolutely will not be if you bring this to the cockpit with you. Thats all

Cheers

Which, of course, they are not. Why expect them to walk on pins and needles? Or are you one of the folks that constantly needs to be "stroked"?

Um, sure.

Perhaps this was said by a voluntary furloughee who is hanging out at CAL??? (Many of these pilots will absolutely return to their prior CA seats after SLI--unless, of course, they take their recall to UAL first. And the recalls only recently started.)

You are almost certainly correct.

I can't speak for others but of all the potential options in 2005, CAL was not even on my radar. Please don't take offense but 05 CAL first year pay, commuting to EWR (or IAH), and no health insurance???

No thanks.

Started in 2005 at 29 bucks an hour with no health insurance and I commuted to EWR. No regrets here.

Exactly. To each, his/her own.
