How USAPA's futile stand exacerbates the AA bankruptcy

I'm looking at them and probably will. I think any airline union could use improvements and USAPA definitley could.

Good. Now if we could get everyone else on the east to do the same!

Dan- I'm not sure that keeping usapa separate is such a handicap when they're so willing to work under that contract-
Lots of corporations have wholly owned subsidiaries, and codesharing being what it is, it's not hard to connect the two airlines- and how much different is two separate airlines from operating different fleets?
The devil's in the numbers- and I'm not sure that Doug thinks that line has been crossed- or any of the other CEO's that could be involved in a merger-
I'm pretty sure most would be more than happy letting their pissing contest go on and keep paying them a % of industry standard wages.

Because the courts will ultimately make it law (although it's a pity that you have to be instructed to do so). No arbitrated list has ever been vacated, set aside, etc. EVER...

Quite true. Not because of anything else but because it would set a very dangerous precedent for all future arbitrations where "binding" and "arbitration" would have to be redefined.

Well that's a good point that USAPA essentially provides low cost labor at managements feet to use as they see fit.
