I hate to break it to you, but everything the East has right now was negotiated under to old union ALPA. But you knew that?

M

I hate to break it to you, but that useless union your boyfriend (st. nic) works for, hasn't done a thing since it's been in place.
But they have done a fine job of keeping the status quo and keeping the lawyers and courts tied up.
 
.........And soo far beaten the West at their game....

Hahahahahahahahaha!!! You east guys are pathetic. Good luck with your sh!tty airline, crap pay, no pension pilot career. DOH will die soon, prepare yourself. :p
 
I thought the WEST had reached the end of the line. Didn't the US Supreme Court deny YOUR appeal? If you guys had a CLUE, you would support USAPA in securing a better contract for ALL LCC pilots. Up to and including a strike. Then , and only then, could you be free to file DFR #2!! You get it, you must first cross the bridge to get to the other side!!!

But I guess it makes to much sense....
The WEST is totally content with the EAST pilots pathetic BK contract. It brings them pleasure to know that LOA 93 inflicts tremendous damage, not only on the EAST pilot group, but on the entire industry.

The WEST is willing to hold on to the Nic award at ALL cost. Even if it guarantees the infinity of THEIR pathetic contract!! This in itself proves how much of a WINDFALL the Nic award IS.........

Holy s h i t! You must be pretty desperate.....you posted this on at least three different threads!

You conveniently seem to forget that the east created this mess. The east pilots chose to hand over the seniority dispute to a neutral arbitrator. The east pilots hand picked the arbitrator. The east pilots didn't like the outcome of the arbitration, so the east pilots asked for a Mulligan. The Mulligan was denied, so the east pilots threw ALPA off of the property and inserted USAPA.

The east pilots wanted an arbitrator to settle our seniority dispute....the west pilots are here to ensure that you get your wish. Please explain to me where the west pilots are at fault here.

You forgot to mention one fact. During the arbitration , George Nicolau called both parties back into his chambers after both sides presented their case. He said he had a list drawn up and that neither side would be happy with the results . So rather than release the list, he gave both sides 10 additional days to reach an agreement. I was told by our merger commitee chairman that this alone was/is unprecedented in binding arbitration. !0 days later, we all return to Nicolau's office. The west negotiators made some movement, while the east group through their lawyer Katz announce "We are comfortable with our original position of DOH ; No change. " Nicolau releases the list a day or so later, followed by the east meltdown, the decertification of ALPA and the creation of USAPA


It's sort of ironic that it was the east merger comittee that first requested arbitration and it was the east merger comittee that selected Nicolau.

It's also been somewhat "entertaining " in a morbid sort of way watching all the various methods the east pilots have used over the last several years to shoot themselves in the foot while the industry moves forward with new contracts that include significant improvements in pay,workrules and benefits.

Even if USAPA succeeds in delaying the implementaion of the NIC list ,their one and only reason for their creation by the way, it still won't change the fact that the east pilots, regardless of the seat they sit in or the airplane they fly,will be the lowest paid pilots in the US, bar none for a very long time. And the truly bizarre thing in all this ? As long as they get that seat ,they really don't care.

A pyrhic victory at best..
