I thought you said "he" was a "she", what the hells going on over there?
"She" used to be a "He", but thanks to the medical benefits.......

nor do you have any idea with regard to our W2s since.
The way I see it AAI FOs got parity with the industry average. Nothing to brag about and an eventual outcome. Even management was on board with that before the merger announcement with pilot shortages coming.
The only advantage the merger annoucement did for our contract negotiations was the reserve Captains took a big pay cut and our Captain line holders are about 5% below industry average.
When in the history of airlines has an MEC voted down a 40% pay raise, 10 year fence and CP seat protection. ALPA gave u unrealistic expectations and greed and arrogance (of the ATL disgruntled CPs mostly) did the rest, nice work!
.....and stapled every single FO to the bottom of the list.
Yeah great deal.
What did you expect Brit?
DOH with a 40-50% payraise?
The two airlines were on the other ends of the spectrum with regards to career expectations.
The staple? Yea, that turned out much better in AIP2 right?
You expected the company to stay out and screw their own pilots? Not happening, didn't happen, and all accomplished within the framework of the agreed upon documents. Get over yourself.
Stop it with "get over yourself" BS. It's childish.
How would the company staying out of negotiations screwed their pilots? That's the dumbest statement ever.
You know this was a jacked up deal so does the rest of the industry. If you don't know this then you have to be delusional.
Brit,
You sound like a little baby that didn't get its way and is complaining that mommy didn't give you exactly what you wanted.
You got bought. The company that bought you wanted a fast contract for the two pilot groups so that it didn't end up like US Air/America West. They got involved and moved the process forward since it was obvious that Airtran negotiating team was hoping for arbitration.

Exactly. The Airtran MEC attempted to slow walk the process to the arbitration end point.
So let's say that was successful. Would there still be RAT pilots not able to hold ATL or MCO and start commuting to OAK? I'd say the odds were 100%.
Look around. When most companies get bought out, the purchasing company slowly integrates the parts they won't and usually sheds around 90% of everything else. Most of the employees of the acquired company are out looking for new jobs. It's the reality of business in this country. I didn't say I agree with it, but it goes on everyday, every week in the US.
The difference is that those jobs are not tied to seniority. Hence McCaskill-Bond.

Patently false, every company out there has folks working under a seniority system, codified or otherwise. The Bond M law is a vestige of politics gone wild and the government trying to tell business how best to run their company. If McDonalds bought out Burger King, how many employees at BK would expect to have a job? Nowhere else is there a law which requires keeping and integrating employees, Nowhere.
