Weird that United furloughed guys holding 90% seniority there, most companies wait till they are at 100%.
Or: What was a furloughed united pilots relative seniority at 10/2010? And what is it now?
 
Using what snapshot date? You have to use 10/2010 not the LCAL proposed 04/13 snapshot. You did not fall 10% using the correct snapshot date determined by the arbs. It is bacically a relitive sen list.

Not true, not even close to relative. I was 71% system wide yesterday, 90% today (not counting the new hires). I bid 40% in BES, weekends and holidays off, 19 days off a month. Next month I will be a bottom line holder. This is a huge windfall for the UA pilots both in terms of money and schedule. Lots of furloughs have the seniority to bid CA now. I guess unemployed to Captain at someone else's expense is "fair and equitable"? Ya right.

Yesterday??? What was your relitive sen 10/2010. THAT IS THE SNAPSHOT DATE, not yesterday, not last week not 4/2010.

Then explain how a ual pilot can go from furloughed, without a job, in 2010 at mad to 75% on the new list..... Just doesn't add up.... The cal side got hosed big time
 
Involuntary furloughs are nowhere close to holding Captain. Voluntary furloughs OTOH, some of them are. But they are COLA (company offered leave of absence) pilots, not "furloughed". They basically took leaves, to save a job. So they're not really considered furloughs in the classic sense of the word

Because longevity was weighted 35% in the arbs decision. Have you even read the decision or just looked at the ISL? I guess that is hosed to you, hosed to me is losing 7 1/2 years longevity. Your RS as of 10/2005 should be very close to RS on the ISL. Also a voluntary furlough may be 25% but not an involuntary.

You should have read ALPA Merger Policy. Longevity is a component that is required to be included. I asked a few months ago why the CAL MC thought that they could get away with not including it at all, and nobody had an answer. Now we know what the result was.
 
Regardless, ALPA policy sucks. Written by a bunch of lawyers who have no friggin common sense. Someone who is not employed should never go ahead of an active employee. Now if they were voluntarily furloughed, that would not apply. As far as longevity, they can use that to establish other conditions such as pay, travel benefit position for non reving, etc. however, they should still be stapled after active pilots for the purpose of bidding a/c, schedule etc. Oh well, we have to live with it now. It is what it is.
