This is why I applied to Continental Airlines. As a 2005 I was projected to be at 50 percent on the seniority list in ten years. This was before any merger!
I am currently at 66 percent and can hold 737 captain at any of our domiciles. Don't care to fly a widebody never did.
I hope the ISL is fair and equatable!

This is what we were all told in the interview and in indoc. And despite the stalls due to diverting 2000 jobs to expressjet, the 9/11 tragedy, and age 65, it has turned out to be true. It was a major reason for choosing Continental, as unpopular as that was at the time.

I am quite sure you don't represent UAL pilots. They, as CAL pilots, understand that the contractual rights of seniority along with the the unpredictability of the company's business plan often means pilots, along with their spouses and children, get wrenched from their current location or lifestyle into another. It's the nature or our business. But none that I know of are gleeful at someone else's misfortunes, which sooner or later may be our own.
It is quite remarkable that your MEC Chair fought against an SFO 737 base because of the "emotional distress" it would cause the pilots, yet here you are delighting in the what may be a far worse fate (no one would have been displaced from SFO) for DEN pilots. The dots don't connect on this one.

When 17 years gets you bottom reserve right seat in DEN, it is tuff to see an 8/05 hire get a Cap seat, even if it is only a snapshot bid. The delay in the SLI (DAL/NWA had one in about 6 mo) is creating some inequities that WILL be rectified in the future. Nature of the business, like you said. Establishing an SFO 737 base would have just added salt to the wound. UCH is pushing it already.
