AA Pilots BOD turns down Last Best Offer from AMR!

This is too funny. Didn't most pilots hired after 1989 at US Air bring NO JOBS to the combined Us Air/ Am West combo?

What decade was that merger in? :lol: who is furloughed and who is hiring?

Hey, could you guys quit hijacking every thread and just accept that not everyone is enamored with your problems? :lol:

And (yawn) how do you solve the problem that america west brought pilot jobs to the game while those with a much earlier DOH brought no job? You know, since it's what we all brought to the game.

AA pilots know that America West pilots saved US Air and thus can't wait to also be saved by America West. America West brings all the jobs to everyone. Rest assured the AA pilots know who butters their bread and will go to great lengths to reward them accordingly. It's only fair.

I really have no dog in this fight but it doesn't matter who arbitrated the SLI. It's a freedom-of-contract issue. Both sides signed the contract - agreeing to BINDING arbitration.

It doesn't matter in the least who or what decides the SLI - nor does his/her affiliation. Whether it was a mediator with a bazillion airline cases under his belt, Daffy Duck, an arm wrestling match, poker game, or coin toss, you agreed to the method beforehand. You had a contract.

Now, you think a new mediator is going to just ignore this contract and overlook the previous BINDING arbitration - to which you already agreed?

You guys may have gotten the short end but a contract is a contract. Deal with it.

Are you an ALPA member? Deal with it. :lol:

That's a great post and very true. AA pilots don't deserve a DOH integration with the catpiss club in Phoenix. They deserve to be stapled because the catpiss guys are all experienced ex Mesa pilots with tons of VFR experience

Easy- time in service- fair measure for all.

So longevity, not DOH? Pretty big difference. Like those US Airways pilots hired ages ago but have spent all that time on furlough. Nicolau thought about "time in service" with the arbitration award.
