Hey, Crz, if the AWA contract was the target, how did the AAA folks end up with something much lower.
If USAPA was created to get around the failings of ALPA, ie, bloated beurocracy and the like, then you might have quite a few west people interested.
The problem is the USAPA group, which BTW, will be lead by self appointed leaders for the first 18 months.
Democracy? Really? GMAFB.
And their only position. DOH, with fences. Any new aircraft acquired after the merger. All go to the east pilots. They act like the west never existed. We brought 150 airframes do this dance.
Heres the deal, Nic rendered a decision. He does not work for ALPA. The AAA MC never once attempted to have ALPA merger policy reviewed prior to presenting their case.?????
If ALPA merger policy is so flawed, why wouldn't you?
Because AAA had used Nic before and felt he would rule in a similar fashion as he had in the previous binding arbitration case.
It's like firing the maid for something the gardener screwed up. It doesn't pass the litmus test.
Good luck to all of us.... We sure as hell are going to need it!
We always have booze and the lake!
