Do the PIGS want Express DOH for pass travel?

I was hired by CAL in 2001. The PIGS were hired by CAL in 2002. Right? They were HIRED in 2002. That’s the argument so they should be ahead of all the off the street hires. Now some are fighting to have their CAL new hire dates pushed forward to their Express new hire dates for pass travel.
Even though CAL hired me in '01, I had my hire date adjusted back because I was furloughed for 3 1/2 years. Fine. Now close three hundred NEW CAL pilots from XJET would like to be able to bump me and hundreds of other CAL pilots hired at CAL before them for pass travel. Please tell me I’m wrong and this isn’t the way it is. Maybe I’m confused but that doesn’t make sense.
XJET is not CAL. Some at XJET have even mentioned a lawsuit against CAL if things don’t go their way. I’m tired of hearing about the XJET pilots that feel they DESERVE this and that. I wonder why CAL has done away with the flow through? These ‘new hires’ should be new hires for everything including pass travel. IF you don’t like it, stay at XJET. There are plenty of good people that will do a good job for Continental.
IMO scraping the flow through is a good thing. CAL’s hiring department can now hire whomever it wants and the ‘I’m owed this attitude’ expressed by a few will be gone. Welcome new hires with a positive attitude.

Don't know what the makeup of that class was though.
