US Airways' go-it-alone approach paying off

[Scope out RJ's]

Here's some: The West was denied an "en banc" review by the 9th circuit of USAPA's victory over them in its appeal. The good news? I dunno, but maybe, just maybe, we are closer to the day when they stop wasting everyone's time with trying to cash in on the fatally flawed Nicolau "award." As the courts have said, no contract containing that abortion is ratifiable....so let's get on with it.

News flash dip********************. Your side wanted arbitration, and chose the arbitrator.
Congrats on being the bottom feeding airline in the industry.....Usapa must be proud!

We wanted fair arbitration, no slanted, biased rulings from a senile arbitraitor. That's the problem with you ALPA minions, you gleefully walk all over your brothers like at NWA yet chastise us for trying to stick up for ourselves. If you were in our shoes you would be doing the same thing as USAPA did!

You got a very fair arbitration.

The arbitrator is still a very well regarded professional.

It's very telling that easties routinely attempt to paint him as senile. You are projecting your own insanity at him.

No-one on the outside shares your view that the award was "slanted" not even your chosen pilot neutral.

Fairness in your eyes is a furloughed east pilot being placed senior to a line holding west captain. Weak and ineffective conditions and restrictions nonwithdstanding, this is an attempted windfall for the east pilots.

In your eyes anything short of a windfall is an "unfair" award.

ANything not respecting DOH is a windfall for one side!

DOH certainly would be a windfall for the east.

It would place pilots who had been on the street for years prior to the merger senior to west captains.

You believe this is justified, but you are in a very small club.

Say what you want, but the MAJORITY of USAir pilots agree with me!

Oh, well as long as a majority of guys who stand the benefit the most agree with you, I guess that should be good enough for the rest of us.

Someday, maybe you will understand the lunacy of your comments...or not. I'm betting you will ride that bitterness to an early grave.

Of course they do, but the MAJORITY of the industry does not and looks down on you with disgust.

The MAJORITY of the prison population feel that they have been unjustly persecuted.

Your inability to utilize reasoning and logic is shocking. Well, actually, not so much.

Congratulations! You have managed to actually outdo McDoosh, an impressive feat.

USAPA is getting tremendous support from all over the industry. You west guys are on an island by yourselves

This is the best analogy I have ever seen on the subject of the ****************************** mindset and rationization.

Looks like the autocensor program kicked in. Substitute this for the deleted word: Uniform Sierra Charlie Alpha Bravo Association.

If that is the case, then why does Leonidas continue to get donations for our legal fight from pilots flying for other airlines?

To those who have donated,

Thank you.

Having two or three pilots from other airlines who you happen to be good friends dontate a couple dollars doesn't mean much padre.

I imagine many of the other airline supporters, have also only heard the one side... IE "those Eastholes want date of hire so they can all come out west and take our jobs, look how a date of hire list would put us all at the bottom"
This pilot then looks at that list, and says "yes, I guess DOH would screw you poor west folk".
Those pilots were not told about fences or restrictions of any kind to prevent just such an injustice, so of course when they hear all the horrors of such a thing they are supportive.
What they are not told is about the 17 year never furloughed guy that would be junior to a guy still in ground school at the time. They are never told what would happen to the international flying, and how it would all go to the West pilots. (as it will anyway in just a few years).
Its all like a sales pitch (like the trial in PHX) If you give only one side of a slanted story, the opinions from that result will be slanted.
