    USAPA/APA and arbitration

    True indeed. I think the only reason the APA appears to be in better shape than the US side of things is simply corporate greed. If AA had gone along with the merger plan from the jump, Parker wouldn't have needed to sweeten the deal to get the unions to support a merger vs a standalone...

    USAPA/APA and arbitration

    It appears that paragraph 7 of the LOA requires Parker to pick up the tab so long as it's not for litigation vs US/AA or their affiliates like the present issue. So they will be paying for the actual talks/arbitration and according TWA Dude above it looks like all 3 of the main entities already...

    USAPA/APA and arbitration

    Basically this whole thing looks like Parker's lawyers found a way to box in USAPA and put them on the run. Winning the most recent suit vs the West simply put into writing what I'm sure the lawyers for the company knew all along: with the process outlined in the MOU, APA was highly likely to...

    US Air/United Question

    My guess is that the most obvious changes would be UA increasing flights on their own metal between their hub cities and PHL, PHX, and DCA closer to historic levels. I can't imagine that they can do much with CLT since it's a small O & D market and they have no good way to access whatever...

    AirTran thoughts on Kelly's Disposal of SL10

    Perhaps they went to UPS who does have pilots on furlough. Fedex doesn't have anybody on the street though and has been slowly hiring of late.

    Alpa

    The op's point about ALPA merger policy makes no sense. The policy doesn't favor one method over another and gives no promises in Arby. All it really does is essentially formalize the process that it took SWA/SWAPA/ATALPA quite a bit of time to agree to in their process agreement by giving a...

    DeltaNet/iCrew on webOS?

    Advanced browser has some nice features like working with Paper Mâché (instapaper) and SecuStore, cleaner bookmarks, etc. Don't know if it will fix your problem though. Splash top just announced Remote Desktop should be out soon though and that could do the trick for you.

    Rapper provides in-flight entertainment on Delta flight intercom

    First of all saying Rap sucks, won't make it go away-I've been trying that with country for years! Lot's of people do like hip-hop so it only makes sense that there are stations out there for them. I would imagine all of those places have Sirius/XM which would have Ch. 65 The Groove and Ch. 39...

    SWAPA calls all former AirTran pilots

    There's a rather 'famous' case of a UAL Captain leaving to go to Jet Blue a few years back. You can probably find something about it if you search on here. It was famous for PR reasons, but it was hardly unique. Life happens, remember all of the people AA tried to fire during their merger...

    SWAPA calls all former AirTran pilots

    No dog in this, just a driveby lurker, but I agree. Besides it doesn't take that much brain power to figure out that there were several UsAirways pilots who took jobs at AmWest during their furlough so it's not all that precedented. I'm sure you could go back through a lot of mergers and find...

    Rapper provides in-flight entertainment on Delta flight intercom

    Seeing as there are 'retro' stations now playing 'old school' hip-hop, that runs the gamut all the way back for 30 years, I'll take you up on that bet. Logically speaking disco is a rather poor comparison, outside of the fact that you dislike both genres. I won't even get into how things are...

    United and CAL SLI for furloughed pilots

    Not for me, which is why I noted that it was him who first looked the other way on the scope and no-furlough grievances in Nov. 2001. I doubt he would have looked out for the junior pilots on the lists, but I think he would have given away far less and gotten a whole lot in return for anything...

    United and CAL SLI for furloughed pilots

    Actually, Airways was the first major airline to go through bankruptcy post 9/11. They emerged about 6 mos(?) or so after United entered BK. I would agree with you that other carriers benefited from previous bankruptcy lessons, but imo UA wasn't one of them when they had a chance to be. The...

    United and CAL SLI for furloughed pilots

    If Parker is in charge of the combined company, then there will be shrinkage in EWR and IAD. Parker's m.o. is not to reduce destinations, but to force the overwhelming majority of traffic to a given destination to flow over it's nearest hubsite regardless of whether it makes sense from a...

    United and CAL SLI for furloughed pilots

    The first carrier to go down the road of BK and A plan attack/loss? RUF kidding me? Did UA go bankrupt in 2002 or 1982? You are correct that the A fund wasn't really sold for anything, although I think the MEC/NC did go pretty soft in the end after all they gave up to protect the A fund, and...

    WSJ - US/UAL merger talks "becoming very serious"

    I didn't say anything about UAL ALPA. I was just throwing out a loose scenario for Doogie to try and merge with UAL taking the assets he wants along with the West contract that avoids the snapback. I'm sure others can come up with more nefarious scenarios. You asked why UAL would only want...

    WSJ - US/UAL merger talks "becoming very serious"

    Playing along with this line of thinking, since Parker has chosen to ignore the Transition Agreement at will thus far, what exactly makes people think he wouldn't do so again if he can't get USAPA to fall on their own swords? Furlough the pilots that they actually want to move to the new...
