TWA Lawsuit

[glasspilot1]

Who was smarter than everyone else TWAdude? I enjoyed my time at TWA.

It's so easy to say "You should have seen the handwriting on the wall and left". The way our industry has evolved, is seniority is everything. Once you have just a few years in, you're locked in. Unless you can somehow see the future! When you're sitting in the left seat it's hard to trash everything and start over.

You're preaching to the choir glasspilot. I was simply stating the facts of my particular decision, and asking what is to be gained by suing ALPA over this? Lost seniority restored? TWA rising again? Noone hired at TWA in the late 90's was sitting in the left seat at the time of the merger. AA was seen as the white knight, perhaps they should be sued as well.

It would take too long to explain.

There's more than meets the eye. ALPA was actively negotiating with APA to join ALPA at the time of the integration without informing the TWA MEC.

It goes far deeper but that will all come out in the trial or afterward. BAD STUFF. RICO stuff. Pound-me-in-the-@$$ Federal Prison stuff.

Interesting how Woerthless is now working for the Federal Gov't.

Thanks 717driver,

I've heard the trial starts in June, should be interesting how it plays out.

hopefully ALPA takes it in the shorts

Way to go little Timmy!! Keep shooting your mouth off here.

******************** ALPO. Good hunting boys. That dirty, underhanded outfit deserves to take it in the shorts.

May Woerthless and his bunch at ALPA get what they deserve. After 9 years of furlough I have no unreal expectations. But hearing that they will have to squirm and defend themselves helps.

Sorry I didn't ask you before posting. Nothing I said that isn't public knowledge.

Good luck tomorrow TWA. Drive a stake right into the heart of alpo.

It's a real shame when Eagle flow-through to AA entitlement pilots are put ahead of TWA pilots.

 

[BlueMule]

Even worse

You want to know what is worse? Pilots hired by American after the merger announcement were placed above most TWA pilots on the list.

When does/did the trial start? Any updates on how it is going?

 

[TWA Dude]

As stated in the beginning of this thread, the trial started Monday. Witnesses for the plaintiffs are testifying and the trial is expected to take 2 to 3 weeks. How's it going? Our case is being heard so that means it's going great.
