Nic award can not be used if the USAIR pilots do not like it. It will be seperate ops forever or DOH with C and R.
3 things need to happen under ALPA merger policy and one did not. A joint contract , with each side having to agree. There was no timeline in getting a joint contract. East would vote every contract down that would have included the Nic. No way are you going to get more the 50% of real USAIR pilots to vote for a joint contract with the NIC. You might find 5%.
ALPA=Nic award
Alpa is gone now. ALPA has failed to implement the list by its own merger policy that includes a joint contract. A joint contract was impossible with the Nic award. Thats why Delta and Northwest did that ahead of the award. It could have been the same gridlock. Delta learned that it was imperative to get a joint contract. Otherwise one group could vote never to implement a list.

If you can read and understand english...like an ATP ought to, then you should be able to read the court orders issued from Judge Wake.
It's obvious that the Judge sees through all of your sides petty B.S.. The Addington case is going to remove any ability for USAPA to hide behind some procedural loophole that was never intended to be used as such. USAPA has gone all in and painted you all into a corner.
In other words, the Nicalau award will eventually BE THE SENIORITY LIST THAT YOU LIVE WITH THE REST OF YOUR CAREER AT US AIRWAYS. There is no place left to hide...you guys are simply to far outside of the law.
I suggest you start looking for another job. When the reality of Federal Law, Addington, and the DFR hit you like a speeding freight train, you're going to find life at AAA unbearable. Get out now while you still, (may) have a shred of sanity.
Oddly enough, I'm starting to feel sorry for you...
