175 west 125 east. This means AWA pilots hired in 2004 will hit the street while east new hires remain.

What would it have been if the Nic. award had been implemented?

 

[reepicheep]

Under an implemented Nic. all 300 would have been those hired since the merger.

Remarkable. They hire right up until they furlough. I'm glad I didn't go back. I don't think I could have handled going through another round of downsizing and watched people who had already been furloughed twice, be furloughed a third time.

Mismanagement on an epic scale. What a shame.

If the announced numbers are accurate no east pilot who was previously furloughed will be hit by this.

Yet...

Oh don't worry. Plenty more AWA pilots to serve as furlough fodder before that happens.

What P - number on the west side will it go up to??

2 bucks for a Coke in coach now, too!

West or East it is a travesty to see anyone else furloughed. The damage that was done in the last two US Airways furloughs was catastrophic to hundreds (thousands?) of pilot careers.

It gets more complicated. Language from the Transition Agreement:

"7. America West may hire new pilots if all
pilots on the US Airways seniority list have
been offered recall to US Airways or have been
offered a pilot position at America West. New
pilots hired during the Separate Operations will
be placed by their date of hire on a third
seniority list entitled “New Hire Seniority List,”
will be junior to all pilots on the pilot seniority
lists of America West and US Airways on the
effective date of this Letter of Agreement, and
will continue to be junior to those pilots on the
integrated seniority list of America West and
US Airways pilots."

Will UCRAPA ensure the TA is followed?

PSA just announced a furlough of 27 pilots.

My guess is they will allow the company to do whatever they want to to the west. Course the DFR will be HUGE but they want the west to go away.

It will be interesting tough, this will be the first test of uscabs, DOH mantra

No one out West is a union member and would rather send feces in the mail. I guess we could just start firing non members. That would solve the furlough problem. Start at the top.

Looks like this will take out AWA pilots back to April '04 new-hire classes.

 

[MCDU]

Another successful post. I love when these young ex mesa Westies get all fired up. It makes my day.
