Seniority dispute ends at US Airways

[Cowboy75]

Westicles huh? LOL. You really think I am wet behind the ears being a licensed pilot since 1979? You are soo wrong about our pilot group. Care to compare safety records? I think our pre-merger safety records can do a lot of talking.

America West retired it's certificate with no fatal accidents.

Anxiously awaiting your reply concerning the pre-acquisition record of US Air.

Unlike you, we actually flew in challenging environments. How long did it take before you even flew a CAT 2 approach? Huh? Care to answer that? How about flying in the most congested airspace on the planet? Huh? What's wrong, cat got your tonge?
You really don't understand much and yes, you are wet behind the ears because you couldnt get hired by a real airline. Did you come from the commuters?

I dont believe any of that string involved a Cat II....did it?

If anyone is interested, I am preparing to be personally waterboarded, even though I am gravely afeared of drowning. I do not feel it is torture, I support its use by our intelligence services, I respect the fact that all our VOLUNTEER Special Forces members are subjected to waterboarding during their training, and I will feel better about defending something after I have experienced it personally.

Like Dick Cheney, it gets results.

Judge Wake? You see, its like this- you guys missed it, big time! You lost and now you think there is going to be some miracle judgement against USAPA. HA HA! Quite funny my boy!
This seniority thing is about to be wrapped up and you westicles better not keep getting in the way of a decent contract. I know you are used to working for toilet wages, but now that you 've hitched your wagon to us you are going to get a taste of what its like to be a real major airline pilot. Just watch

Right. You guys can't even get out of your own way.

How long did it take you to use FPV on a localizer approach without the glideslope?

The folks that write their updates for USAPA think it is settled. They are hoping, which is all they have, that we don't have the funds to take the case to the Supreme Court. If this court does not take the case, all USAPA has to do is present the DOH list to the company which is the trigger that makes the case ripe. The arbitrated list is the the one the company accepted and testimony from the trial affirms the fact. US Airways has filed a lawsuit seeking clarification on the seniority dispute because they realize they will be defendants in a future lawsuit if they accept USAPA's DOH list.

Since USAPA does not allow a message board, (because they don't care to be challenged), the noise machine puts out updates such as the one posted.
The claim in the update that a DOH cramdown and conditions and restrictions on the West is a win is comical.

They want us all to be "good union pilots" in their updates is code for shut up and let a very few decide the direction on the union. We refuse to be a "good union pilots" if they insist on spending our dues money in an attempt to place furloughed pilots ahead of pilots flying at the time our shotgun wedding was announced.

I am so sick of hearing this "furlough out of seniority" - WE ARE UNDER SEPARATE CONTRACTS - I know you know that since you are at a higher hourly rate - and have really tried to get our two pilot groups to parity right?

You insult every pilot, from every background on the planet. You sir, (or mam) are a disgrace to the profession.

I'm done with you.

Seperate contracts, blame yourself, don't come crying to me.

I agree with you whole heartedly, if for no other reason than to prevent the PSA pilot group from continuing their longstanding and shameful practice of underbidding the other whorely owned pilot group(s).

Those weasels are now participating in the PDT negotiations, after securing RJs, large small jets and almost super sized small large jets (90 seats) for themselves. Their contracts have had pitiful pay, work rules etc. in comparison from that of ALG and even PDT. "It's all about me!" is not just a mainline slogan. Result: a 100% growth of their pilot group roster, while ALG/PDT are now at 45 airframes. That is a 60% decline from their combined DHC-8 fleet total of over 105.

We pilots can always be counted on to screw one another for a small "fee." Management plays that tune with glee whilst the commuter trash dances a jig for a pittance.

The only time I was proud to call them my "bruthas" was that new years gift of a fecal deposit in the CLT chief pilot's file cabinet. That was spectacular! Rejoice in the small victories.
