I think that the rational pilots only want an intervention with Cleary and the radical fringe of USAPA and see something productive come out of this. But Pride and Fear are the drivers behind USAPA and until they are conquered, theres little hope of progress.

More like pride and EGO.

The company opening proposal is still on the table (17% raise east, 3%west) which was stated in court on 7/16/09. In a new merger Nic goes with it(per the injunction) and splitting up keeps being said over and over by the easties but it makes no business sense. For someone who doen't have a dog in the fight you sure have all the east talking points down.

Lamp,

Refresh our memory: why would you guys be excited about and vote in a 3% raise?

Who's excited? I'm just informing the uniformed on what is currently on the table. If that came up for a vote it probably would be voted down, but we'll never know.

By increasing staffing due to increases in vacation and better work rules.

No more FAR mins for the east and hopefully west vacation or better=recalls.

thank you I hope you guys get back soon

If you get your job back I'll be jealous... I know most of us are dreading having to go back to the east... I wonder how recalls work if we want to wait and be recalled to the west? Anyone know the procedure to bypass coming back to the POS 190???

And herein lies the crux of the problem.

These very jobs were STRIPPED from US Airways pilots during the second bankruptcy, which was entered into to make the merger happen. Now the AWA pilots are foaming at the mouth at the prospect of stealing these jobs by virtue of a very lopsided "award". This "award" will TRANSFER all of this jobs directly from US Airways pilots to AWA pilots.

This is fair?

The East guys have pretty much lost the right to scream fair at this point.

And herein lies the crux of the problem.

US Airways entered its second bankruptcy in September 2004, AWA didn't announce its acquisition of US Airways until May 2005. US Airways didn't enter into BK to merge with AWA, US Airways entered BK because it was a failing carrier.

Now the AWA pilots are foaming at the mouth at the prospect of stealing these jobs by virtue of a very lopsided "award". This "award" will TRANSFER all of this jobs directly from US Airways pilots to AWA pilots.

This is fair?

Yes it's fair. What's not fair is an abusive majority stealing seniority that is not rightfully theirs, dragging another pilot group into an unprincipled sham of a union and not honoring a final and binding seniority award as previously agreed too. No one is planning on stealing jobs, the jobs have already been stolen by an unprincipled mob, aka USAPA, and those jobs will eventually be returned to the original owners along with fines and assessments of the east pilots to be paid to the west pilots who have suffered harm due to USAPA's failure to fairly represent all members of the bargaining unit.

HUH???
There's not a single shred of truth in anything you posted. None.

Weird perspective too.
