The nic wont survive a merger with AA.

Common knowledge. The western division is done

 

[Noserider76]

The nic wont survive a merger with AA.

Yes, because the nic list will be stapled below the APA list.

 

[St. Nic]

Yes, because the nic list will be stapled below the APA list.

How can you staple when their is arbitration?

Classic, a SWA thread turning into an AA foodfight.

I've heard that a senior FAT pilot who has already crossed the partition is trying to bid for captain prior to 2015? His assertion is that after crossing the partition, he is no longer an AirTran pilot and therefore able to bid for a captain vacancy. Any RSWs or my Tranny people heard of this or care to comment?

Yes, he did.

Yes, he is.

Yes, he and I talked about it before he went over (MCO 737 CA, I flew with him on his last trip at AAI).

As to the likelihood of his success... who knows. Stranger things have happened (Twomey-Kasher is the grievance on reserve pay that you're referring to), but I wouldn't hold my breath. The intent of the language and the actual verbiage of SL10 is pretty clear, although his position that he voted against the SLI and therefore never personally agreed to the conditions and restrictions of the AAI LOA and the SIA (and no longer being an AAI employee is no longer bound by the AAI contract language) and since he was not able to vote on SL10 he therefore can't be bound by its stipulations either is an interesting position.

Again, not a grievance I would file, but to each his own.
