The latest on the AWA and AAA seniority

Really? Why would a guy with over 1000 below him choose to be a reserve 737 FO? Something doesn't add up there, Chief.



And that's also a huge, inflamatory bunch of BS. Sad that none of you guys will be real with your explanations. The only windfall in all of this would be the NIC with no restrictions whatsoever. It's bull$#!t, everyone knows it (except, of course, for the FI.com regulars here in westie playland), and there are people trying to stop it. Nicolau is an idiot, U-APLA acted like a bunch of idiots as they have for decades, and this mess was the result.

Furthermore, furlough isn't some scorge upon a pilot's house, family, and reputation. Furlough is the ultimate concession to save the ship. I would never tell your West furloughees that their DOH doesn't count, or that if we merge with, say, UAL or AA that they should get stapled. That mentality is very strong on the West, isn't it....that furloughed guys are total losers and should get nothing? Well, you guys can try to f&^% your own furloughees.....we will have stick up for them just as we are trying to stick up for our own by returning Date of Hire to its rightful place in organized labor.

Given your history, your scabs, your relative newby status to being union pilots, I'm sure that westies will be screaming for DOH given the correct set of merger circumstances. Too bad you don't just man up now, because you'll look like real @ss wipe hypocrites when you do.

Meantime, we'll continue to look out for your furloughed pilots, paying for their medical insurance, and hoping for their return. If we merge before then, we won't be like you westies and tell 'em "too bad you wern't "on property" when the merge happened, cause now you're screwed forever."

DOH...MF's!!!!!!

Just so you know... there will probably be less than 10 or 15 west guys who actually will collect on the health insurance. Just another thing USAPA put in place AFTER a hundred west guys were furloughed and did not have a mechanism to become a member in good standing.

Recalls

Outsider here wondering if any of you have a guess as to when recalls will begin and subsequent hiring at US Airways?

Thanks!

WolfMan:

Dude, we're still actively furloughing. Wait a year or two before asking that kind of question.

I think he was kidding.

In the early 90's the airline was in a similar position and didn't recall for 8 years. Plus they didn't have the effect of the age 65 ruling then.

Oh. {sarcasm on} It's hard to make that mistake here. {/sarcasm off}
