USAPA Formed to oppose a binding arbitration award- they had pay raises and re-establishment of work rules on the table in 2007- and in one of the dumbest financial moves ever by a pilot group- set those aside in a futile attempt to renege on their binding award. Now they undercut every major airline and even Virgin America has a case to say they are held down by usair mainline wages- only allegiant pays worse- without mentioning the regional rates the e-190 pays.
Our system is dependent on pattern bargaining and each group raising the bar when they get an opportunity. Now, usair is weaker, lower paying because of this feud, when they could have been stronger and helping to raise the bar.
I am confident the APA will stand strong and show greater character and strength than most- but usapa has made the job of these 8,000 pilots much more difficult- and that ought to be called out.
At long last- usapa- have you no shame?
