Another MOU agreed to at US Airways, if you believe it

[Turtle21]

Blah,blah,blah...Apparently you know more than the 9th CCOA and Jdg. Silver.
What, did you stay at a Holiday Inn Select last night??
Nic is a toxic TURD that would gum-up this merger. The APA doesn't want it...And whatever the APA wants, they will get.

No, he stayed at a Holliday Inn Express.

And you are correct. The Nic is already dead. No one is advocating for it accept for AOL, but they have no part in anything besides threats. No court has intervened to require USAPA to change its position on SLI, and no court will allow anything until after a JCBA is ratified. There is nothing, and no one, to resurrect the Nic, especially after everyone votes on an MOU that lays out MB as the method of SLI, rather than ALPA policy.

 

[B-atch]

Any word on when the MOU might surface??

Is this what USAPA legal told you? Did either of you even read any of the court trancripts? Or do you rely on Pizza the Hutt for information?

You will see soon enough the NIC is alive and well. It is the ONLY seniority list at US AIRWAYS. DOH was DOA. The company never accepted it and they nver will. That is unless USAPA can come up with a Legitimate Union Purpose for harming the West Class at the Expense of the East.

You reall think APA wants to take on legal battles over a seniority list that doesn't effect them? I hope they do. They have a lot more assets for us to go after than USAPA.

I can't wait for another educated reply from an East pilot. They come up with such clever ways to avoid reality.

 

[PGTB]

What are the chances USAirways negotiates new payrates if the merger fails to happen?

 

[SXMp2c]

zero out of Zero

I hope we hear something tomorrow night, but I doubt it.

Three-Week Delay in AA's Merger Decision
No decision on combining with US Airways expected this week
By Scott Gordon

Scott Gordon, NBC 5 News

The AMR Board of Directors is not expected to vote on a proposed merger with US Airways at its meeting this week, according to a person with knowledge of the high-level negotiations.

The board of directors of American Airlines' parent company, AMR Corp., was set to vote on a consensual merger with US Airways this week but asked for a three-week delay, a person with knowledge of the high-level negotiations told NBC 5.

The board meets on Wednesday.

The delay to better evaluate US Airways' offer would move the decision to the last week of January, the person said.

"I think they're not going to be able to stop it at this point," said Vicki Bryan, an analyst with Gimme Credit. "Just because American Airlines management team wants to delay it, that doesn't mean they'll be able to delay it."

Bryan was among the first to predict American Airlines' bankruptcy in November 2011.

Pilots, flight attendants and some creditors are already on board with a merger. By some estimates, a merged airline would be worth $1 billion more to creditors than a standalone airline.

Overnight, the new airline would become the world's largest.

"Everyone will be happy to see this process end and the future beginning," Bryan said. "Cobbling together a $40 billion airline is not something you knock together in a garage. It's a tough process."

Bryan said US Airways management would likely win control of the new company. Under this scenario, American Airlines CEO Tom Horton and other top executives would be pushed aside.

US Airways has said it would keep the American brand and keep its headquarters in Fort Worth.

Among the hurdles to a merger -- how much US Airways should pay and how much creditors should get.

US Airways offered creditors 70 percent equity in a new airline with 30 percent going to US Airways shareholders, analysts say. Creditors want 80 percent.

Whatever the final numbers, the growing consensus is a merger will happen soon, setting the stage for yet another battle.

"They've got their work cut out for them because Delta and United are not going to wait around for American Airlines to sort itself out," Bryan said. "They are going to step into a world-class competition on a scale no one has ever seen."

American Airlines spokesman Bruce Hicks declined to comment on the board meeting or even confirm the meeting was taking place.
