ALPA/TWA Duty of Fair Representation Award

[OHGOON]

That's funny because when I was reading the case, I was thinking something similar........except I was amazed at how willing a few TWA pilots were willing to risk throwing the ENTIRE TWA seniority list under the bus by gambling with a bankruptcy judge's 1113c ruling that likely would have taken their scope away anyway. But hey, I guess it just depends on one's bias as to who was throwing whom under the bus, huh?

Yeah you could see it that way, but for me it doesn't pass the smell test. We'll see what happens on appeal I guess. In the big picture it's all old news anyway, the industry has moved on and many involved have retired. In the end it's just about money and how much.

ALPA not guilty? HFU...Highly Unlikely...

Anyone heard the latest on the case?

The judge starts a six-month trial this fall. We're next on the docket so that means a trial date around March 2014. Yup, you read that right.

Another great example of a pilot who thinks he understands how everything works. Patently wrong. US hospitals are the scene of 100,000 - 150,000 patient deaths every year, caused by error.

You got a source for that ludicrous number? (MSNBC, Michael Moore, or the website of any organization that has the word "justice" or "progress" in it doesn't count).

what about the jury?


Pcl, with every post, you show yourself to be a bigger and bigger ass-hat. You really should stop before you embarrass yourself further.

btw, he wasn't being sued, he was merely a witness. But i'm sure you knew that already.

Google is your friend.

He is correct, the number is quite high. Between 90,000 and 160,000 depending upon the source and definition.

Do these links comply with your favored filters? Seems like the whole Medical industry could benefit from applying a bit of CRM...
