The END OF LEONIDAS is finally upon us

[johnnyb]

What is great is that in the end, the Westies will win out, primarily because as a group they are younger than your old Eastie group and 3/4 of the APA.

That would make it roughly 10,000 vs 1100 - not good odds.

17,883 :laugh:

This is a response when you can't respond. To top it off, you still haven't had one constructive post on FI. You and your group have zero integrity and will lose, and a loud cheer will result.

Uh, what? The AA pilots overall are old. Many civilian pilots were hired when there was a B-scale in the 80s, and the Military guys went elsewhere. Then, when the B-scale went away, the Military guys came back, but now the Capts and FOs were all about the same age, meaning a lot will retire together, at the same time. The USAir Easties overwhelmingly are an old bunch, with the junior guy at 17 years when the NIC was done. Both of those two group will lose tons of pilots within the next decade. When the NIC award is implemented, the younger AWA group will come in and wait for those two groups to start retiring in droves. That would result in Westie 777 Capts when the fences come down, probably after a ten year fence (a guess). That will result in sweet justice.

Basically you are talking about issues a decade from now that are about to be decided today.

10,000 to 1000

Bunch of children on this thread.

Sorry old man....... Sounds like you can't debate any of the points anyway. Try this one: abiding by binding arbitration after you signed on the bottom line to do so......

No, it's called age difference. The AWA group on average is younger than the other two, and along with the NIC award, which will very likely be implemented prior to an arbitrated SLI with the APA, will mean plenty of younger Westies at the top EVENTUALLY. The Westies will be blended in prior to the AA SLI, and the older pilots above and below will just retire away. That is called justice, again. Where are you getting this 10,000 to 1000? The AWA plus the Easties do not equal 1000. (Total). And what is the average age of the top 6000 or 60% of the APA guys? I bet 55 and higher. How about the top 75% of the US Easties? Probably 58 and higher. It's just age differences.

You might want to pay attention to your own posts. You said the East pilot group (3500) and 3/4 of APA (9000) would be 'sweet justice' victims of the West pilot group - 1100 migs.

Do the math.

And you did. PHX over 95%. Welcome to the World according to George Nicolau.

Ah, Parker will press for it, or you get "Nothing else" for years. Wall St wants a clean merger. Don't worry, you will be sold out by the senior guys. Remember all those guys I talked about in the "55 and older range?" They will push for pay and benefits to help pad their retirements. The top 500 Easties already gave in to USAPA and lost tons of money keeping the old US contract. That won't happen again. And, the AA guys will want a ten year fence on 777s and bases, which will cover them until retirement. If they get that, they will sell you out. The AWA guys will win within 10 years.
