Allow me to straighten you out.You made the same fallacious point on another thread. I'll have to straighten you out again.
If you had bothered to read any of the relevant documents instead of just getting your information from webboards, you would know that the East pilots did not propose date-of-hire. Their proposal was length-of-service. This means that in your above example, the pilot with 10 years of active service would get ten years credit. The pilot with 6.5 years would be credited with just 6.5 years of seniority.
In conclusion, you don't know what the hell you are talking about. :down:
USAPA....on the way!
This comes straight from your own MC:

ARBITRATION PRE-HEARING STATEMENT
OF THE US AIRWAYS MERGER REPRESENTATIVES
In anticipation of the upcoming arbitration beginning on December 4, 2006, the
US Airways Merger Representatives submit the following in support of their proposal to
integrate the US Airways and America West pilot seniority lists by date of hire, adjusted
for furlough time accrued as of May 19, 2005, subject to conditions and restrictions:
I. Date of Hire Has Worked Well At US Airways.
Historically, US Airways pilots have successfully integrated their seniority list
with incoming pilot groups using the date-of-hire methodology. Allegheny-Lake Central,
Allegheny-Mohawk, USAir-Pacific Southwest and USAir-Piedmont are mergers that
worked well for the carriers and their pilots. The pilots accepted the consolidation of
their seniority lists because they understood date of hire as the basis on which they had
always made their career choices at their predecessor carriers.
There. Now suckit!
