I am not going to insult you buddy. Nice try.
I am very happy with my merger committee and with what they have and will do. They are some smart guys, much faster than my slow brain.

BS. The CAL Merger cmte made a request of the company to provide W2 wage data in 2011 (includes pay, employee imputed contributions to health benefits, B plan funding, etc.) to provide a baseline from which accurate comparisons could be extrapolated from. UA gets CAL data, and vice versa. The UA MEC balked and it went to arbitration. Arbitrator ruled last summer that the information was relevant and was to be disseminated.

So our airline has not improved in the last couple of months? What is the time frame of this poll data? Hopefully we will not be in last place again next year. Btw Delta was in last place during their second year of their merger. Of course United's customer service has been bad for a very long time it might take longer to turn that around.
We have a long way to go especially in customer service no doubt about that, but it is getting better.
And I also agree with you, I am not that smart. If I was I would be a lawyer in Washington and not on a silly public forum.

Kinda like your buddy doing your wife. He knew enough about you to work your wife in his favor. This is what Pierce was doing and why the UAL MEC said "NO" it's not going to be that easy.

I think you are right Motch. I think the volunteer furloughs will not get stapled. We had volunteer LOA guys also. I don't know how many that is. Somebody stayed on property because of the volunteer though. That number, whatever it is, will be towards the bottom of the list IMO. I look forward to flying with you all!
Let's say that there were VOL-Furloughs who opted to take the status, and opted out VOLUNTARILY. While he/she was out on VOL-Furlough, there happened to be subsequent round(s) of furloughs. During the subsequent furloughs, the VOL-Furlough's seniority percentage "happens" to NOW fall below the "FURLOUGH 8-BALL LINE" while out on VOL-Furlough.
In the above case (albeit rare), those who opted out on a VOL status, now have their "seniority spot" within the furlough band as a bi-product of subsequent "pink slips" that were issued after their leave. If there are cases as such, it's not rocket science as to where the VOL-Furlough's current seniority would fall on the Legacy's Master Seniority List......In the Furlough Band......Wouldn't they become INvoluntarily furloughed for a portion of their leave??
I completely understand that no one Pilot (on their respective Legacy list) can be moved down/up relative to their fellow/pre-merged Pilots......BUT when stating that "all" VOL-Furloughs are exempt, and will return to the seniority without consideration/examination as to where they line up relative to the "Furlough Band" following subsequent furlough(s) after their leave, I find that assumption a pretty broad stroke of the brush.
I'm sure this will be just another "cog" to be battled in the presences of the 3 Arbitrators in the coming weeks.
Interesting times.

I think your point is valid. But, non of the L-UAL vol furloughs fell below the 8ball line that I am aware of.
Question to Motch, and the topic he brought forward on VOL-Furloughs......
