Just curious thanks.

31 guys on the east side took a leave. 125-31=94 furloughs.

the bottom 86ish (of the 94) are off the street guys and the other 8 are guys that were on the mainline list via MDA.

Too many Budweisers!

Don't worry when we begin to furlough from AWA they will be all front line AWA pilots from Mainline List at the time of the merger. Minus about 6 East Furloughees that were lucky enough to come West. Hey thanks USAPA, they came West and lose the dream, while a furlougheee who went back to mother East keeps his job. Some crapsville of a "union".

Then what happens next year? Aren't they looking to Reduce another 8-10%. Shrinking to make a profit? Hmmmmm.

They chose to leave USAir and go to AW. That has nothing to do with the union. I chose to go to UAL and could get screwed in the end. ( no pun intended) Is that USAPA's fault as well??

Of course it is! Everything since the Wright brothers first crash is the fault of USAPA, just ask the West, they will tell you

What is USAPA doing to ensure that the furloughs happen in the order they are supposed to? The TA clearly states that all pilots who are hired after the merger are on a third and seperate list, junior to all on the east and west lists prior to the merger. By my count, there are 153 of these pilots. EVERY one of them should be furloughed before ANY other pilot from the original east OR west list. Both east and west contracts specify that furloughs come from the bottom up and there is no question that these pilots are junior to both lists, even if you use DOH as the criteria. This is the first test for USAPA to prove that they have some integrity and plan to represent ALL US Airways pilots. So far, all they're doing is sending threatening letters to west pilots and doing nothing whatsoever to contest our impending furloughs.
