East/West split up

[Dan Roman]

As has been pointed out, this rumor has been around a long time. It comes from USAPA people, not from the people in the boardrooms that actually know something about business.
USAir is unmergeable because they bring to many legal (courtesy USAPA) problems with them. The USAir east folks have pretty much made themselves the piriahhas of the industry. No airline BOD would approve a transaction that would result in having to deal with the USAPA pilots going forward, too many problems for anyone to want to deal with.

Pariahs? Piranhas?

Take your pick, I typed it on my iPad and did not proof read!

Not trying to flame you - but you should worry about your HNL - LAX flying - you really have no clue what is going on at US - if we didn't have USAPA - we would all be junior to the entire west list!
Now go ahead and shoot back!

So you were furloughed and didn't bring a job to the merger?

So you are allowing Cleary to run roughshod over your rights because this is what you've been told? And you believe it? Did you ask anyone to prove it to you?

If we didn't have merger policy and a court system, we'd all be junior to the east. C'mon you really think putting 80% of the AWA pilots on the bottom is fair?

Don't go down the "fair" / "unfair" road. That was for negotiations and that time has passed. The arbitration has been handed down and must be employed and not held hostage.

Furloughes on top of ACTIVE captains?? Uh, hello? Fair?????

Split USAir? What, and lose all that synergy?
