we need a contract that tops the industry.
Whose "We" Union Buster?
The West is just fine. If you can't pay your bills To Effing Bad. I couldn't care less how poor you are. Get a second job...maybe a third, a fourth, or a fifth. You could deliver pizza for dominos on your bike. That way you'd have plenty of people to hear your sob story! I promise you, any one of them would be more interested in your problems than ANY West pilot.
You should have realized, as 80+% of other furloughed 99 hires have, that US Air was a diseased animal. Your decision to accept recall is YOUR problem. That was a stupid decision, YOUR decision.
Not our problem. You forced the West into litigation. That's a fact. You wanted what you cowards thought would be an easy fight on a weak victim.
Unfortunately for you, you didn't expect the weakling to stand up, and knock your teeth out.
Forget about a contact. It's years, if ever, away. The West isn't going to capitulate one decimeter to your attempted larceny.
Also, I didn't watch the video but is this the one where Bradford claims that all the law firms they interviewed said that their plan to change unions and ignore binding arbitration would be a SLAM DUNK?
Funny, because in court, Bradford was warned by a law firm to HIDE the true purpose of the formation of USAPA. He went on further to say that in the opinion of MOST FEDERAL JUDGES the Nic award would transfer to whomever the CBA is.
Bradford is a liar. He told the complacent pilot group what they wanted to hear, and what he wanted to believe and Those desperate morons voted accordingly...and you have the balls to whine about no contract? :laugh:
