Mindset of the typical US Airways east pilot?

[Bringupthebird]

It's really kind of sad that USAir has been sunk to the level USAPA has taken them. There really are a lot of good people there. They are, to a certain extent, victims too.

They had the key to free themselves from their self-imposed captivity - a recall or representation vote. They were too scared of the threat to their popularity among their fellow pilots to do the right thing. Ironically, they are now viewed by the entire pilot profession the way they feared they would be viewed by a couple of hundred east guys.

I'd say Dan, as many AWA and the industry as a whole that has been hurt by USAPA's I'll advised stand under loa 93,
No one has been hurt more than the majority of east pilots

Wait until it sinks in that they got the Nic anyway. They forever devalued their careers...almost a decade for absolutely NOTHING. Just like they were endlessly warned would happen. Fk em. All scabs in my book.

The last paragraph was an interesting comparison , even if you disagree with the writer

Apples, meet Oranges.

Stupid stupid stupid westie- you voted the Nic away with the MOU!

Psst, DOHboy, the company already accepted the Nic. Silver's gonna remind you of that.

No, this is not the mindset of a typical east pilot.

No, the MOU made th case even more "ripe." Nothing in the MOU stated "if you vote yes you give up the NIC..." Are you saying because they voted they acknowledged the so called "union?" They have to pay dues regardless of what they think of it, or risk getting fired. You Easties will never learn. Binding is binding.


Bye Bye---General Lee

No, this is...

Try again bucco! US pulled itself out of bankrupcy with there own funds that Lakefield got

That there's the kinda genius that gets ya a neutered union with the highest dues in the industry defending the lowest pay. Best of the best!

The East pilots f---- up and they know it

they should have stayed with ALPA nd work out their issues
