I have read every post on this thread and I still can't find the one that says that '80s hires were on furlough.

I'll agree with AD on the issue of date-of-hire, except that he and I both would agree that it would not be fair. Were it to have been decided that way though, I would have been ahead of the vast…VAST majority of sCO pilots. In fact, it was one of the factors that was considered, and the CAL MEC chairman tried to take advantage of it by trying to integrate any CO pilot that had been previously at a CO Express carrier into the list using their CO EX hire date.

That is patently dishonest since all the CO EX companies were different airlines. But it would have worked out for him personally because he was a CO EX pilot before he got hired at CO, therefore he would have gotten a date of hire for SLI purposes well before his actual date of hire at CAL. The guy has all the qualities of a dog except loyalty.

I don't have any problem with the respective sides advocating for their own, but the CO negotiators were using just plain illegal and immoral tactics and false information. I'm glad that the arbitrators saw their tactics for what they were.

I think this lawsuit will dry up and blow away, and the six pilots who filed it will end up with nothing more than they have now.
