It's called career expectations. You can't put a furloughed pilot ahead of an active Captain either.
USAir and AWA could not have been two more difficult lists to merge. The right thing to do was let it go to binding arbitration and the east should have been happy they got a lifeline.
By reneging on the promise to accept the "binding" part of the deal the east pilots greatly diminished their professional standing in the industry. When they started make arguments like the letter writer in the beginning of this they made fools of themselves. Sad deal because, no matter what your leadership (the one's who have been wrong over and over again) says, USAPA is baggage you carry into this merger that you would have been way better served not to have.
Yep.
Funny thing is that everyone on the outside can see it clearly, except the Easties. I have yet to see anyone other than an Eastie that thought their actions had any merit.
