It is completely unfair to disadvantage one group and reward another, especially in this case. CP pilots deserved SOMETHING for what their company brought to AC, and being stapled below new-hire AC RJ pilots is'nt right.
I'm sorry for the current AC troubles, and hope they do recall soon.
Now, if only TWA pilots could get the same fair treatment in the US after AA pilots stole their seniority/seats/jobs!!!
