AA/USAir non SLI?

[slaquer5]

I have not followed this fight for years. I now find it interesting, as I think the outcome will set a precedent for other airlines to follow.

An example would be, what if DAL bought SWA. It goes to arbitration, the DAL pilots do not like the results, so they pull a USAPA.

Any airline could have been used, SWA buying someone smaller ect.....

If USAPA pulls this off, I think it will be the wave of the future for all mergers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but SWA has a rap sheet of placing it's merged airlines at the bottom??

It's gonna be a re do. Keep dreaming. Funny how' all the uncomfortable questions now are if PHX will survive. Goes to prove that AW's
demise was just behind US.LAS dead...PHX ... The next PIT.. Dead. I really get sick of the "white knight" crap from the west pilots.

It will be another arbitrated award, I agree, but far from a re-do. As soon as USAPA slaps down two lists, they have defied an arbitrators ruling and the courts can and will step in to preserve both the rights of the west pilots and the integrity of the arbitration process.

My best guess is that USAPA at the last minute will say "Yep, it's the NIC, sorry guys we helped who we could, tough luck."

You aren't connecting the dots. LAS closed as a result of the US merger and the lack of a need for a night bank of flights to position aircraft to the east coast for AM departures. US's demise would have helped AW, not hurt it. No one likes to admit that Parker's comments on the likelihood of AW going into bankruptcy never took into account the rising tide of losing a weak competitor (US east).

A re-do? Can you do that on a divorce settlement also? How about at Judge Judy? Can you take your money back if you lose it all at poker at a casino? You Easties just don't seem to understand, and it will cost you.

Hey dork... Get a life and get a girlfriend. You've posted more on OUR subject matter than anyone else. Wow, I really thought DAL had good hiring standards. You have obviously snuck a quick one on them.

Arbitrated ruling....which was part of an internal union process. Of which such union no longer exists on property. So that internal process is not longer required.

It's WAS not a federally mandaged arbitration such as MB or any other...

Sorry, the union was only the representitive of the parties and the parties are still very much here (for better or worse). Those parties will be held responsible for the award, regardless of their representitive.

Furthermore, arbitration is widely used to reconcile disputes between private parties and the courts will not allow precedent that jeopardizes such a widely used and legally enforced practice.

I'm guessing that you are one of the post 2000 w no college degree hires at Msa Grande that wants the windfall...do you really think APA wants a 2003 hire senior to an 88 hire??? Roll over and give GL a kiss, maybe that will heal you

Correct me if I am wrong. None where decided by a Judge or an arbitrator .

I might be wrong, so feel to correct me.

Sidebar. What is APAs stance on all of this?As I think they will be the ones driving this .

Can we get a cut and paste link to these Scott Kirby quotes?

Not possible since the video is posted on an internal company website. But suffice it to say that Kirby simply said "No." in response to a long winded West pilot plea to agree that the company will use the Nic at the POR approval.

All folks need to realize is that the pilots have signed, sealed, and delivered a new seniority integration agreement, a New American seniority integration plan, a new SLI policy that replaces the old ones, effective at the POR. It is exactly what Crandall said needed to occur for him to support a merger.

Listen carefully.. start at 2:10... he says seniority integration agreement, and seniority integration plan... but never once says "list".

He has it, contingent on the POR approval.

Sean67...are you a angry 99-01 hire or a third lister drinking the kool aid of out of order upgrades delay game? Thanks for trying to paint all AWA pilots as Beech 1900 F/O's that hit the USAirways lottery when we tied up with your POS airline. STFU about your military duty...lots of us have served and do not brag about it on this web board...Wait till the APA pilots treats you like a red headed step child...karma is a b*tch...

P.S.- if you believe Kirby ..he is playing you, read the company's court filings for what is under oath and not water cooler scuttlebutt...
