After implementation of SLI, there is no more L-CAL or L-UAL, pilots or equipment, there is simple United fleet and seniority list. Those that are already here, are United pilots in their respective seniority position, the rest of the furloughed pilots will receive and official recall notice and call.
This is how I understand the provision of the TA.
Have your shrink visit booked in advanced, since there will be a lot of pilots confused, upset, and in result depressed after SLI. :-)

UPA December 2012:
LOA 25 Merger Transition Issues

2. s/United Pilots Offered s/Continental Jobs:

s/United pilots who were offered employment at s/Continental in accordance with paragraph 7.B of the Transition and Process Agreement dated September 26, 2010 will not be considered to be on Involuntary Furlough for purposes of Section 5-B-1-a-(1) of the Agreement.

Jet Link,

Thanks for looking, but that won't work.
The bolded text in your post ended just a little early so I continued it a little. Re-read the next few words; for purposes of Section 5-B-1-a-(1)

5-B = Limitations on Hours of Service

Yep, that means the company was allowed to continue to allow higher line values to pad those paychecks and delay L-UAL recalls after JCBA signing while L-UAL pilots were on furlough. Nothing more, and nothing less.

While the truth is many L-UAL at L-CAL may want to just assume a new number, there are numerous written assurances from ALPA that full recall rights will not be lost by taking any temporary job offers at Skywest or CAL.

Honestly, if you find something that will hold water in court, please post it.

But after SLI what is it? Please be specific.
Specifics for my status, once recalled I go from furlough status to mil leave, ID comes back, jump seat is now available, B&C contributions start, etc There are several LUAL pilots that are under the same staus

All good points, and also the reason I said it's mostly a technicality. In the big picture everybody that wanted or needed a job has one but I also suspect the number is more than several that will be able to take advantage of MIL leave.

If a L-UAL pilot wanted his recall rights in that way, they should have not accepted employment at CAL. If they had gone to Skywest, they can bypass. But there won't be a CAL this time next week. Those LUAL pilots are back on property. They are effectively recalled. We won't be operating as two separate pilot groups within an airline.

What exactly is there recall to? Does it even make sense that the company is going to call pilots who are already flying and offer them a job back? That's like calling a pilot already hired and offering them a position as a new hire.

The latest MEC blast mail covered this. The company as well. There will be two more furloughed pilot updates over then next week that will explain all of this in detail.

Come Tuesday the furloughees on the property are "recalled".

As far as court, when ALPA and the company say something is that way, I don't think your vague recollection of what you were "told" or how you believe it should be is going to stand up in court.

LAX,

Who said anything about "vague recollections"? I did not. I mentioned WRITTEN assurances directly from ALPA which are anything but vague. Last time I used some saved emails, the company and ALPA legal both agreed that they would stand up in court and agreed to settle before it even went.

I agree with the procedure listed above, but there are several details that are missing. There are some rights that those on V/F are contractually owed. The details are not fully out, so we will have to wait and see, but ALPA should not allow the company to cut any more corners with the furloughed pilots.

Actually, we will.
Come Wed (if The List is out), I and every other LCAL Pilot will still be referring to our old C02 for many contract issues.
Same will be said for the coming months into next year.
Numerous sections of the JCBA have implementation dates that are yet to be determined.

What happens to a LUAL Furloughee/LCAL NewHire? He or she (might) move ahead of some on their respective BES.. but which old contract do they fall under?

Hopefully at this time next week the ISL chapter of this merger is complete and we continue to move forward..
BUT, this "merger" won't be complete for at least another year.
Only when ever pilot is operating under the new JCBA, every section of the JCBA is implemented, and every pilot can fly all the planes in their respective BES.. will we be merged.

Most of the JCBA sections should come on line here in the 4th quarter as they kick in with a combined CMS. Combined CMS MUST happen prior to the implementation of the new FAR 117 rules. Each airline has a plan as to when to flip that switch but it has to happen prior to the effective date in Jan 14. While yes there will still be some contract issues for a few months, most of those will drop off the plate in just a few months.
