Yes, but not to all 4 islands multiple flights daily from LAX and SFO. And LAX-PVG CAL didn't have route authority to do that flying. Nor did it have a base in LAX or SFO for the last 20 years.
Doesn't matter now because the SLI is done I can bid that flying if I want so its all UAL flying again!!!!!

Ben this whole thing isn't worth stewing over for years to come. You have age on your side. You will likely finish your career after many years of picking and choosing exactly what you want to do. Are you really going to let this eat you alive between now and then? Be deliberately hostile to some other pilots because of an arbitrated result for years to come? Sounds like unnecessary stress and wasted effort.

Dam, today was going to be the day that I logged on to apc and didn't **** my pants from laughing so hard.
CAL had been flying LAX to Hawaii for over 30 years.
That's not so funny. What's humorous is the delusion you seem to have that United (pre-merger) could control anything that happened around them. Would UAL have let CAL fly LAX to HNL? Yes, just like they LET SWA take over Denver, AMR run them out of MIA, Virgin invade SFO, DAL expand in LAX, and AerLingues fly to Europe.
Seriously?

We would ALL have gotten a much better contract had that not been the case. Jay Delay and the CAL tactics made this unpalatable agreement acceptable to a whole bunch of peeps who wouldn't have voted for it otherwise.

AND the logic behind the delay, was flawed from the start. One need look no further than the ISL. So we accepted a concessionary contract full of Easter Eggs for El Heffe.
Of course, you'd actually have to read the thing, and ALPA policy, and have some sort of historical perspective, and the ability to connect dots, etc etc etc to figure this all out. But hey, we'll get em next time! Right.

Agreed. And to think that Jeff Sismek had the check book and pen in hand for 3.5 years! Really a shame the poor guy had to wait so long cause of Devil Horn Jay Pierce.
