Planes clip wings at KDCA
4 of our Finest East Coast Aviators run 'em together on a taxiway. Yeah those highly experienced Easties ... and 250 passengers bite the bullet. Wonder how those FLL PAX felt? Really what a bunch of knuckleheads. I'm guessing it is probably one or more of those 900 East Coast FOs junior to me in... -
USAirways Pilots: Read This.
As an “out of seniority AWA furlough” who had a job at the time of the merger, I can tell you that it does not sit well at all that I lost my job to a guy who was furloughed at the time of the merger. I’ve said all along, that we, AWA, supported bringing back every East Furlough prior to new... -
Ruling aganist USAPA to come tomorrow (7/17/09)
Reference the hearing in Judge Wake’s courtroom today 7/16/09. The following summary is by a HP-FA. A former AWA FA. He was also at everyday of the trial. Plus a former paralegal. He has excellent summaries. This is his take on the hearing today. I am back from the court hearing. First... -
U.S. Airways to cut 600 jobs
so what's new That's the East/USAPA mantra – bankruptcy before accepting the Nicola award. Management continues to milk the discord to the last day and the East guys are playing in the band. When the company goes into CH 11 again, there will be no comin’ out, hello CH 7. The 2500 East pilots... -
Why East Pilots are mad
Please ignore the idiot in the room. It is an absolute waste of time to read his trash. I agree he is an embarrasrement to the profession of aviation. As an out of seniority AWA furlough, awaiting damages since the East refused to honor the federally arbitrated seniority integration, I'm proud... -

Usapa lost!!!!!!!!!
From where I sit on furlough from AWA, it is a very small victory. The bench trial for remedy is underway but damage assesment won't occur until August and most West Furloughees think we will be stuck on Furlough for quite some time. We've argued from the beginning that we just wanted what all... -
The latest on the AWA and AAA seniority
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I see the same “idiots” and “nonsense-spewers” are still here on FI. Glad to see my fellow AWA pilots still carrying the mail and providing rational input to the discussion and the continuing support of our fellow professional airline pilots. For what... -
Any news for CAL furloughees?
Skydriver -- as a fellow furloughee, (AWA, out of seniority due to our pilot integration issues and USAPA inaction), I hope you are back very soon. Anyone with half a brain who read your post knows you were concerned for your fellow pilots period. Your second post was spot on. Don't sweat the... -
America West Pilots have integrity?
January and February will be interesting In case the East guys don’t know, USAPA’s number one lawyer is being replaced. This is in preparation for the upcoming trial on Count 3 (DFR) and of course the applicability to Counts 1 and 2, in which case the West pilots may be awarded damages, even... -
America West Pilots have integrity?
Full of Luv -- You just can't imagine what's it like to be on furlough just in front of the holidays. Out of seniority furlough. New hires working out East. Guys who didn't have a job at the time of the merger (AAA furloughees) are still working, and yet AWA pilots who were employed at the... -

Permanent seperate ops at USAIR
Well they are about to get alot more. Once the Judge gets the trial going, February or March, watch for some serious back peddling by USAPA. They will have to go into damage control mode as the arguments for financial damages to the West pilots become clear. Every East pilot is accountable for... -
AWA/ US Airways pilot seniority integration
you left out the part about how both usapa and the company are open to monetary damages to the West Pilots ... -
USAPA and the Domicile meeting for PHX/LAS
It is to everyone’s benefit to ignore the idiot in the room. At FI, regular readers know which posters try to exchange information for discussion & fellow pilot awareness and who just posts for entertainment. Just ignore the jokers. What the Line East pilot fails to realize is that US Airways... -

USAPA and the Domicile meeting for PHX/LAS
The following “announcement” of a Phoenix and Las Vegas Domicile Meeting Notice was sent on USAPA Letterhead to West US Airways Members in Good Standing (dated 3 Nov) and received by some folks on Thursday, 6 Nov for a “short notice” combined domicile meeting on Veteran’s Day, Tuesday, the 11th... -

Whats Aa Gonna Do?????
Please add Doug Parker, CEO, at US Airways and Scott Kirby the COO to your list. After they finish collecting Millions, and destroying 35,000 employees lives, they are going to kill US Airways for the final time (sadly taking the AWA folks down with them). USAPA gave them the .45 to commit the... -

Management Spin at the new US Airways
Since there was no answer (it has been 5 days) from any of the East pilots regarding the exclusion of West pilots for membership, I thought I’d share this little gem about how USAPA is “working” on Cobra payments for the furloughees. Of course, only AWA pilots have been furloughed so far at the... -
