Collelo was furloughed on the merger announcement date, which is what the arbitrator used when he "drew the line".
Odell was an active pilot on that day.
Spin it however you like, though.
“Snot nosed captains” are gonna tell FOs, who started their career with Eastern Airlines, that things are just peachy. The cockpits are gonna be miserable.
The company will come out with a new employee number sequence to try to hide the fact of who came from what airline, but it won’t matter. Pilots who get screwed keep seniority lists. And the pilots who got a windfall will try to preach about how it was justified.
Just get used to it, you are gonna hear bitching until the last USAir pilot retires. The only way to end the conversation in the cockpit is to agree with them about how bad they got screwed and to be embarrassed about how big your windfall was.
