Continental (new UA) or US Airways?

You DID accept the ALPA arbitration process by AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION in the first place! Lets call a spade a spade here.

The OP asked where they should work. Instead of droning on about some internal union dispute perhaps you could contribute to the thread with something original... Like... The obvious answer is not to be a pilot but rather to be a pilot's lawyer, especially an ALPA pilots's lawyer. :lol:

That means we would have big pay now right?

Agreed to binding arbitration under ALPA rules, one of which is no windfall.

Not only did ALPA not set the rules correctly, they were in the midst of a cover up of the MDA debacle. (too long to go into).

This along with many other things led to ALPA's ouster.

Binding will never take effect without being ratified, ALPA or not. It will never be ratified as is.

I know most on here will never listen to any of this because we have a very vocal West group that have been posting here daily for years, and if that is all you see/read, someone without the real background will of course gravitate to that same opinion.

But a little background on the fair, benevolent, and loving West pilots. Long before Nic had published anything, the West pilots official position was to have some MDA pilots REMOVED from the seniority list altogether. That's right removed, not just placed at the bottom. The reason given during testimony? These pilots flew Dash-8's, therefor were not up to the standards of ML pilots. Ironic since a couple of the Dash-8's they flew actually came from AWA.

The point of that little gem, is so that the newer guys on here or maybe guys that don't have the intimate knowledge gained from actually living this situation rather that just reading about it on web posts, might realize that these guys do not actually crap golden terds, and that their rantings just might be a little biased.

Sorry! I shouldn't have hit the "quote" button. I was just making a statement about the nic and the west.

Can you supply even a shred of proof to your claim. Didn't think so. Go back to bed.

Get someone to explain J4J to you.

Are you Skiles, looking for the right button?

Tell her to go to the first place that hires her. United, USAirways, Delta, Southwest, UPS, FedEx. Just go. Figure it out later. Don't turn down a job hoping for a "better" one, since 10, 20 years from now the "better" one might be completely different.

Although the East vs West crapola does get old.

 

[79%N1]

Go with United. USAirways has some REALLY ugly uniforms! : )
