USAir East West NIC Award Resolution? Very soon!
Kirby, if we were ever stupid enough to ask for it, was to be paid for with all the reductions in QOL. and the loss in other benefits. They were hoping for the shortsighted to jump at a pay rate and not look into anything else. The majority of West pilots would vote for anything that gave them... -

Continental (new UA) or US Airways?
It's in the transcripts of testimony given to Nic, all you have to do is look it up. But that would only be if I believed for one second that you didn't already know this info. But you know what, I think I would rather go get a root canal than argue this stuff. It's like trying to convince... -
Continental (new UA) or US Airways?
Maybe you have me confused with another poster. -

Continental (new UA) or US Airways?
Agreed to binding arbitration under ALPA rules, one of which is no windfall. Not only did ALPA not set the rules correctly, they were in the midst of a cover up of the MDA debacle. (too long to go into). This along with many other things led to ALPA's ouster. Binding will never take effect... -
It's Official: USAirways Wants American
I disagree, East West do not have a combined contract. Do you at least admit that? Without a combined East/West contract there is no NIC. (all other issues aside) Do you admit that? The new transition agreement including American can and will be whatever is negotiated, most likely whatever... -
It's Official: USAirways Wants American
Lets try this... As of this moment there are 3 list in action at Airways This is undisputed. Nic can only happen if there were a combined contract, (all other issues aside) there is not, hence 3 lists. 9th has ruled DFR not ripe as no harm has yet been done. So the only official... -
Icing no Problem for Aeroflot
While that video is to the extreme, that does not change the fact that way to many of us run to get deiced when there is no need. A flurry and 39 degrees does not constitute ice adhering to the aircraft. I believe if you need, it get it, as per the FAR's or other evidence that it needs to be... -
Associates Degree or A320 Type.
Degree, a type without "time in type", is not very useful. All airlines will train you and type you anyway. So the reality is a type rating (without time) is just not that important to an airline. The only one that I know of that wants this is SW. The reason for that type rating can be... -

USAir & AMR merger
I agree, I also remember during the ALPA, USAPA fight that there were members from the APA talking to our pilots about the benefit of independent unions. -
Delta flight diverts on champagne request
As the Captain there is not much you can do... You cant go back and see what's going on, therefore there is no chance for the front office to even try to diffuse the issue. So What's left? You either trust your fellow crew member or not. If I am told by an FA that there is some sort of... -
Near Collision on Ground at Midway
Almost 100 yards laterally on the ground. Doesn't sound that close, sure its close enough to get your pucker up for a moment, but it sure wasn't I could see the color of his eyes kind of stuff". Either way, it was good the FO saw it and reacted. -
Whats with all of the sudden trouble?
You guys have it all wrong... With the upcoming pilot shortage, the airlines are being proactive by making sure there are plenty of pilots available when the shortage hits. It's management 101 If you need more pilots, furlough some existing ones, then there will be more to hire. Problem... -

DIA Doomsday Bunker
What's with those paintings? I say one of those newly forbidden words, I am on a no fly list. Meanwhile back at the ranch those painting are on the wall. Maybe I am just paranoid, nothing says "have a nice day" like kids in coffins, and some nazi like figure holding an AK47. -
Turbine time for major airlines
Then, they start asking for how much turbojet time, not just turbine. How about how much time in a turboprop and turbojet over X pounds? Did your turbojet time include swept wing? with or without leading edge devises? Lets not forget about what kind of avionics your turbojet over X pounds... -
Boeing's big bet
The yoke is all about the feedback. When the autopilot is turning so is your yoke. The guy next to you is doing something on his side, you can see it on yours. the Boeing keeps you in the loop. This is the same reason for moving auto throttles, it is one more clue to what the heck is going... -
USAPA's Illegal Job Action Causing Pilot Terminations.
Because certain posters on here have so much hate, that the East could say the sun rises in the East, and they would argue that its all a conspiracy. Of course all the while claiming its the East that is angry. -
Former AWA Pilot writes the truth
Well then I guess it's all settled then So why are we still talking about it? The West is so convinced that they are going to win, then what is the point of the constant " well you said, well she said, well they did this, well you did that.. Enough already Page after freakin page of bashing... -
