USAPa is as affective as APA or SWAPA. We are making tremendous progress in industry standard contract and have preserved DOH as the bedrock for our industry. The teamsters are very impressed with USAPA

Did you really just say that? If USAPA wasn't such an anchor on industry wages they would be a laughing stock.

"Tremendous Progress" and "Industry Standard" in the same sentence. :beer:

Delusional.

Teamster Merger Attempt

Since its inception, USAPA leadership has flirted with the Teamsters to provide representational services. An alliance was formed shortly after the election to align the goals of the Airline Division and USAPA. After the Temporary Injunction was issued by Judge Conrad, many BPR members and outside supporters such as USAPA founder Steve Bradford supported a full merger with the Teamsters.
USAPA President Mike Cleary appointed an ad-hoc committee to study the feasibility of a merger and the impact it would have on the date-of-hire objective. Teamster Airline Division President David Bourne told USAPA that the Nicolau Award would be inherited and could not be overturned.
Before the issue could ever move forward, Teamster President James Hoffa Jr. wrote a letter to Mike Cleary declining a merger at this time citing other organizing obligations. It is widely believed that Hoffa did not want to involve the Teamsters before a joint contract with the Nicolau could be implemented. Hoffa was also concerned that a possible deal with American Airlines would cause the property to leave his organization for the larger Allied Pilots Association (APA) once the merger was consummated.

Pure westie propaganda! The teamsters are looking at forming an alliance with USAPA. And the Nic is not the seniority list, just a proposal- the 9th circuit said so. This is about independant unions and DPA is just another chink in the ALPA armor.

Next time, don't agree to binding arbitration. It is binding, after all.

I refuse to believe any pilot could make that statement with a straight face! Your DOH dreams have hampered your pilot group since 2007. 5 plus years, and still the same wages. In another 5 years, US East will have many retirements and eventually it will reach a point where the remaining East crowd will be outnumbered by the West and newhires at the East who just want to move on with the Nic.

amen.

USAPA still makes for an interesting soap opera though. Pure entertainment

" industry standard contract "

Uh...In case any of you missed it...that would be piss poor wages that are less than those of 20 years ago.

Be careful what you ask for...

How about an "Industry Restoring Contract" (?)

Just a thought.

Discuss.

Its just lost on me how people can think a 17 year never furloughed pilot should be put behind a rookie new hire. Whats wrong with you people??? Wait until it happens to you and you're beloved ALPA screws you! You just wait! Then you will be happy to get an independent union.

Really, its the binding arbitration that you agreed to. Your pilot group did not like the result and they went "full retard." You never go full retard. You should do the honorable thing and honor your obligations.
