Well
Today I received a political flyer mailed from USAPA trying to blame the "junior, relatively young, America West Pilots who were subsequently furloughed as a result of this merger" as the culprits who are denying the rest of the US Airways pilot group an industry-standard contract.
How pathetic that this is who they chose to blame - people who had the ultimate sacrifice of being put out on the street while all the former USAir pilots were recalled and stayed employed. This proves the ultimate goal of the East- when the circumventing of the NIC was attempted- the East wanted to capture West Captain slots - and if downsized, they want to also capture West First Officer Slots! (But I know the comeback is going to be that the East pilots were integrated out of seniority - even though we are on separate contracts).
And finally, when the flyer concludes with a message to OUR Fellow Pilots - correction - we are plaintiffs and you are the defendants - USAPA concludes with " both East and West pilot groups are heavily armed legally and financially" - correction - they think the West still owes hundreds of thousands of dollars to our attorney - lets see how that works out when they are forced pay a judgment that awards damages to the plaintiffs.
And finally - how did USAPA get my home address? Maybe Cleary could ask for an investigation about that?
