America West Pilots have integrity?

[reepicheep]

I suspect the judge will give the east pilots and the company a choice....pay damages or rehire the west pilots and have them fly east.

We do not want the judge using the 6 as a precedent to exile us back east to fly an rj under LOA 93 for 20k less than we were making. I agree with you - the only proper remedy is to make the affected captains and f/o's whole for lost wages and damages, and recall the furloughees to LAS or PHX. Or simply pay them to stay home.

The judge could order them to be trained on the east but make USAPA responsible for all financial costs of doing so along with the costs of training to move them back to the west plus pay protection. Long story short, the judge can bankrupt USAPA. Either way it is going to be fun to watch the blood flow.

While I side with you west guys I wish you would change your thinking about the Embraers being rjs. They are definitely mainline aircraft and belong there. My apologies for the slight threadjack.

And now back to the regularly scheduled program - your word is 1/2 of who you are, there is no honor at usapa and in what the east has done.

Rj not in size, but the pay rates.

I hear the Judge was real happy (not) with you westies on Monday, but I'm sure y'all have a different story. Seems there's always a special take on things here on FlightMisInfo.com.

If you've got something, let's see it.

Let’s just say for arguments sake the judge rules the furloughed west guys should be paid for their time on furlough:

Any income you have received while on furlough (unemployment, furlough pay, pay from another job - YES pay from another job, any unpaid union dues, wage garnishments + who knows what else) will be deducted from any “make you whole” award you have coming.

In fact you may possibly get a bill. Because your furlough pay is higher then E190 FO pay.

Then you can look forward to commuting to PHL to sit reserve as a RJ FO making $40,000 a year.

Frankly, furlough is a better option.

If the news from room 504 was so good on Monday, why no response from USAPA? This was a case with no merit according to USAPA, but so far they have failed at every motion before Judge Wake! Sounds like Nixon's "Peace is at hand" before the 1972 Election only to result in Linebacker II ( but in this case USAPA will be Hanoi). Wait for the USAPA spin, it is the only source for "accurate" info. per the BPR.

P.S.-I'll let the West pilots on the street decide what is best for them if they win an award, the East has no option to go on the Barbie 190 after getting knocked off the 737!

Per the NIC I bet they could hold Capt. on the 190...
