Lighten up Francis! You are still treating every CAL pilot like we are all 1983 hires...I fully expect a career of 20+ years of good times and positive movement...

Go take a look at the snapshot date used in past mergers. March 2013....you funny.

OK sled, I'll bite! You talk about merger snapshot dates of PAST mergers, but there is no ALPA merger policy dictating that date, correct? The minute a CAL peep brings up relative seniority, furlough staple, etc, you say they are dreaming, correct? Then why does past merger solutions play a part? Cherry picking the best parts around you will not lead to a realistic outcome. What if the arbitrators give full longevity to the UAL side(inc furloughs), but use a 2013 snapshot date? I'm just saying...

I'm planning on everyone to be just a bit upset, and that will be fair. We will live with it, be professional and move on...

If we get full credit for longevity (i.e. DOH) who cares about the snapshot date. Your MC proposed putting me equal to pilots hired 11 years after me, mine only 2 years after me.

I'd totally take my full longevity and be senior to everyone will less longevity, and call it a deal and move on.

I won't repeat everything I've written but if you guys weren't acting like the early 80's hires we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Funny how that is the exact same observation that I have of you. Seniority is a numerical sequence of where a pilot stands in relation to his peers. This number allows a pilot to bid for equipment, bases, vacations, weekends off, etc. Longevity is how long a pilot has been employed and is used to determine such things as pass travel and pay scale. As you state, they are different. Not only are they different, but they are also separate. To use longevity to claim seniority makes as much sense as using seniority to claim longevity.

Longevity is time on property, correct? With your answer, you just sold 95% of your furloughs down the river! So much for your true union stance that you preach about; I got mine...

Not quite.

As of the merger date in 2010, a substantial number of UA furloughees have more active service longevity than any CAL pilot hired after 9/11 and some UA furloughees have more than some CAL pilots hired pre 9/11 due to the longer time on furlough the CAL pilots experienced.

Read the diatribe, our conversation was based on a 2013 list date! And longevity is weighted, not the only factor...

Oh a 2013 list....that's even funnier.

After reading as many ISL awards as possible, I have great respect for the latitude the arbs have and their application of (then) current policy. Thus, I respect that there are numerous plausible "fair" outcomes in our case.

I have yet to read one, however, that used a date three years after merger closing.

Go back and read, it was about a hypothetical situation...Ah never mind, back to waiting for August! Good luck!!!
