Goodbye usapa!!!!!!

[JetMonkey]

Nicolau is dead. Past history. Get used to it. Senile old man got it wrong.
APA will be sued if they try and screw us on the east. Westies, you are along for the ride because you can't cooperate and play nice. You get what's coming to youse. Really.

Nic is dead

You've been saying this for a while now.. funny how the Nic in theory is still around, eh? Unlike your soon to be fake union..

Btw, no more calling you a$$wipe, so I apologize. You're a minority like one of us now.

Usapa will control the merger for US, our merger committee isn't going nowhere. Get used to that Westicles. Our union will be around a long time

Really? Cause that's not what the order said. The order is the only case law to reference when looking at M/B. Does USAPA plan to appeal the "victory?"

APA will decide who is on the US Air Merger Committee. NOT USAPA. There will be no USAPA. So no, YOUR union will not be around a long time.

How does it feel to be the little guy now? Doug is tired of the idiots at USAPA and the EastHoles. That is why he is Neutering you as quickly as he can. How is it having an American Pilot as your Chief Pilot in DCA and Philly? That's gottta hurt.

In an interesting twist to USAPA’s pyrrhic victory, we learned that the west members of the USAPA merger committee proffered their thirty day resignation notices last Friday. We think this was a great move.

Let’s back up and and review USAPA’s dilemma following Judge Silver’s ruling last month.

First, USAPA will not have a seat at the table during the upcoming single list proceedings with American. In fact, as we wrote about in our last entry, USAPA will likely be removed as the bargaining agent for the US Airways pilots in the very near future. What might survive is a merger committee comprised of east pilots. The status of the former USAPA merger committee will be entirely up to the APA and whether their status can be agreed upon in the ongoing merger protocol negotiations. What is key here is that even if the former east pilots have their own merger committee, it will not exist under the auspices of USAPA. Why? Because USAPA will soon cease to exist.

Second, Judge Silver did not remove the DFR liability from any of the current bargaining agents or the company in her Order. All she did was rule that the MOU was not a breach of DFR because it is seniority neutral. Judge Silver ruled in line with the prior ripeness ruling from the 9th Circuit. This is key because USAPA, the APA, and the company are still subject to a DFR claim by the west pilots should the Nicolau Award not be used in the upcoming integration.

In its latest communication, USAPA declared that “At this time, nothing more has been decided beyond our conclusion that the unmodified Nicolau list is not an option.” In this statement USAPA is very clear that they intend to violate its DFR. In this context, we wholeheartedly agree with the resignation of the west merger committee members. There was no room for them to stay when the committee and the union loudly proclaimed their intent to use their majority to dictate seniority terms to the minority.

The irony is that USAPA is demanding a fair integration in the upcoming integration, yet they are using their current majority to dictate the terms of the last integration to the minority west group. It is no wonder that the APA filed for single carrier status immediately following Judge Silver’s Order. She clealy wrote that USAPA cannot and has no intention of fairly representing the west pilots.

The good news is that we are confident a fair process will be initiated once USAPA ceases to exist. Please note that we are not saying the east pilots will not have access to a fair process and a seat at the table. We are confident all parties will have a seat at the table once the APA is the bargaining agent.

In that context- bravo to the west merger committee members. They truly understand how the future is unfolding.

Really? Cause that's not what the order said. ..

Learn to read. The ORDER said no injunction, no seat. The dicta was her political rant that is meaningless and has no impact on the RLA, MB, or the MOU. If you think otherwise you are free to pay your lawyers to fight the RLA, MB, and the MOU.

Donate now! Cactuspilot.com. After donating all the money you guys have, why not keep doing double or nothing bets. Sooner or later you will truly have nothing or double.

East pilots on FI are inanely dumb.

So far, I agree- well done west.
It's chess, not checkers- APA is maneuvering to unify this group and I cannot wait.

and usapa will go down in history as one of the weirdest, darkest time in airline pilot union history.

 

[dollacrackho]

Please don't call it a chess game. It's monkeys in a cage throwing feces at each other. It's embarrassing all the way around and hopefully it's soon to be forgotten. That's too much to hope for though I'm sure.

I fail to see where anyone else (east/west or other airlines) around here are splitting atoms in their basement on days off.

Exactley. Corndog air has a need to put there nose where it doesn't belong. Ask him if he know this
