It seems now UAL thinks it's a real good idea to cling to it. Fascinating. Because the last three times UAL pilots needed to consider how it might apply to them and a fellow ALPA pilot group, they have found a way around it. USAir and America West were being "purchased" by UAL (according to UAL MEC), and therefore those pilots weren't entitled to ALPA merger policy. And Frontier. That's where it began; Merger policy was in the equation until UAL ALPA got a good look at the longevity/DOH of the average FAL pilot. They decided real quick merger policy (and especially longevity) was not a good thing for them,,, then. Now? Now they want to be wrapped in ALPA merger policy like a blanket. Now they act like longevity is suppose to be sacred.
What I do not understand is how UAL pilots can carry on like this with absolutely zero humility. Seriously, how do you write an SLI opener and run down the other airline with the same sort of complete BS you once used to declare yourselves brain surgeons and all other airline pilots simple doctors? You do realize that everybody that was there watching you then is still here? These are all the same judges, arbitrators, lawyers, etc. Everybody remembers.
