US Airways AMR agree on merger terms

[General Lee]

There is no AWA Pilots after merger with Airways...... Atleast that how the American Union looked at it. Only American Pilots and US Airways Pilots. Gonna be interesting on how the Westies are handled.

That's like saying, "she really isn't divorced, so that truck I lost in the marriage is really still mine...." Binding arbitration awards don't just float away. The AWA guys will be the real winners in the end, as a group they are younger, and will outlast the other two. I would think the NIC would be upheld, and then that list would be used in the AA integration. (IMO)



Bye Bye---General Lee

This is not black and white and should not be viewed as such.

From an on line legal dictionary:

"The submission of a dispute to an unbiased third person designated by the parties to the controversy, who agree in advance to comply with the award—a decision to be issued after a hearing at which both parties have an opportunity to be heard.'

'Arbitration is a well-established and widely used means to end disputes. It is one of several kinds of Alternative Dispute Resolution, which provide parties to a controversy with a choice other than litigation. Unlike litigation, arbitration takes place out of court: the two sides select an impartial third party, known as an arbitrator; agree in advance to comply with the arbitrator's award; and then participate in a hearing at which both sides can present evidence and testimony. The arbitrator's decision is usually final, and courts rarely reexamine it."


ALPA reexamined it and found the Nicolau Seniority list to comply with all facets of the process. Further, it has been challenged in court. Two courts have told USAPA they are free to negotiate away from the Nicolau list, BUT tread on dangerous ground at the possibility of a DFR lawsuit against them and any other party involved.

Does anybody have the number for a good fencing company ?

It's time to move together in one direction.

So you and your neighbor disagree about a property easement and take the complaint to arbitrator. The arbitrator makes his decision, where upon you neighbor builds a fence on the contested property.

After YEARS & tons of money fighting your neighbor in the courts, is it now time to give in to his antics and move together in one direction?

Discuss....
