YGTBFSM!!!
You guys wrecked any chance, in a good economy mind you, of any contractual gains and now you say that.
USAPA= Retards.
I don't work for Airways (I feel blessed).
I work for NW. Now that our merger is underway and showing classic signs of ego inhibiting logical thought, I find the whole AWA/US 'merger' saga fascinating.
IMO everyone involved in that merger...almost seems TO A PERSON...when faced with a decision made the wrong move...management, pilots (both sides), ALPA, arbitrator.
And now with the current oil/economic situation the west is prepared to make the final move that could prove fatal for the company.
Fascinating stuff...the book will be a must read for future airline pilots.
