Mindset of the typical US Airways east pilot?

[General Lee]

You mean, that flawed seniority list where a 17 year never furloughed pilot was placed next to a new hire? The list produced by a flawed union that no longer exists??? Yeah, keep dreaming about the Nic- the Nic is dead. 98%.

Nicky,

The USAir Easties agreed to the arbitrator beforehand. They could have ruled out Nic, but he was one of their choices! Then they signed on the bottom line to accept the award, along with the Westies and the Company. The Easties are a bunch of spoiled brat losers who are a "known" entity now, that the APA will rip apart, while everyone else smiles.


Bye Bye---General Lee

[FONT=&quot]U.S. Intelligence Confirms: The Hillbillies Have the Bomb[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For the first time since the end of the Cold War, the specter of nuclear Armageddon looms over the world, as the Pentagon announced yesterday that a group of hillbillies in central Tennessee has constructed a fully operational 50-megaton nuclear device.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]The hillbillies successfully completed their first test detonation Monday in the Tennessee desert.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]With this potential for destruction in the hands of people who have throughout history acted out violently for no better reason than family tradition, scientists in Helsinki, Finland, have moved the doomsday clock back up to one minute before midnight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Pentagon officials were tipped off to the backwoods people's potential to invoke mass destruction last week when an A.T.S. agent returned from the Smoky Mountains claiming that a group of hillbillies had threatened to "nuke him up real good cause he was a lookin a closing down a still? The bomb's existence and operational status were later confirmed by a team of scientists who, after finding the weapon in a hay thresher, were run out of hillbilly territory by a family armed with a shotgun and three dogs named "Duke."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The scientists describe the bomb as a plutonium-lined copper kettle which could easily be imploded to critical mass by igniting the whiskey-drenched possum pelts hanging around its perimeter.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"It is primitive yet brilliant," said Dr. John Hall, the Pentagon's chief investigator. Hall was not sure how they got the plutonium, but said that their handling of it, wearing no more protection than baggy overalls, likely resulted in mutations far beyond those that regularly occur as a result of inbreeding.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Granny Vera, the matriarch of the hillbillies in question, released a statement to the media yesterday by yelling across Ol' Thunder Gorge to a group of reporters gathered on the opposite cliff. "We ain't dealin' with y'all no more!" she said. "Now that we got us this 'nuke-lar' thing, y'all best stay off our land lest we commence to incin'ratin' folks 'till Hell won't have 'em!"[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]She also ordered "rev'nooers" to stay away, and warned "them prohibition folk" to stop searching for her Pappy's stills.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Though all hillbillies have joined together in solidarity against "city folk," military analysts worry that if feuding among clans were to resume, one side might decide to use more than buckshot.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Said U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, "We can only pray that the hillbilly culture is advanced enough to understand the sophisticated theory of peace through nuclear deterrence."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]At this point, the Defense Department believes that the hillbillies possess no means of moving the warhead outside their territory. However, if the hillbillies' bomb were detonated in the epicenter of their community, it would have catastrophic effects on the outside, civilized world.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]With this in mind, President Obama says his main goal is to get the hillbillies to dismantle their bomb entirely. To that end, he plans to negotiate with the hillbillies, offering them tax cuts, greater freedom in liquor production and a revocation of all laws prohibiting incest.[/FONT]

Everyone talks big behind the keyboard and like someone else said on another thread, you need some new material, your old crap is getting old.

I was referring to gl calling a pilot group "a bunch of spoiled brat losers" even though many had nothing to do with the Nic. Such the tough guy he is. I was off fighting a war when all the voting was taking place, not to mention, no matter who/what I vote for, he/it never wins.

What's your new take on this? Predicting the future SLI are you? Good for you. ************************* lee doesn't know, you don't know, I don't know, how this thing is gonna turn out.

 

[waveflyer]

Fair enough

Looking forward to a resolution, however it turns out, as soon as possible.
I can't imagine how those directly involved feel on all sides

Usapa is still a failure and an embarrassment on the industry.

 

[A350]

Whats an embarrassment to the industry is a Union that has allowed seniority integration policy (just about the most important part of any pilots career should it happen to the airline you work for) to be a flag pointed in any direction based on the current "administration" instead of a hard, not wavering policy that you either get behind or you get lost.

For crying out loud, the AFA has better principles when it comes to this stuff than the ultimate pilots union. This should have been fixed years ago.

ALPA has let this fester for years. They never offered or brokered a solution. The elephants (DAL, NWA, UAL) got their way while the TWA's, the USAir's, and the Air Tran's of the world took it in the shorts. (and the Pan Am guys before that)

Since I take it on faith that UAL furloughees were given credit for their time at the airline within the merged SLI with CAL, I guess it escapes most of you that this is the inevitable result of the political clown show that is ALPA merger policy.

The only thing that bodes well for the future with ALPA and merger policy is that for the most part, future consolidation and therefore merger policy, will be on the back burner for a while now.

That is little consolation for those who have to daily eat the crap sandwich that ALPA served up to the USAir group....including East and West.
