It's a three way integration now and Usapa will be handling east and west. Our C&BLs MANDATE DoH... Sorry westies. No Nic lottery ticket!
Let's see:
1. USAir management told the judge they accepted the Nic list and the only reason it was not implement was the lack of combined operations.
2. Management has ask the judge to give West pilots equal a place and equal standing in upcoming SLI negotiations with APA.
3.. APA will not go for DOH but will instead seek the highest seniority for their pilots.
4. The West pilots will not seek DOH but will insist that the NIC list be used for all USAir pilots as a starting point and then seek a list based on relative seniority.
5. The SLI talks will end in another arbitration where the arbitrators will consider the Nic list as an arbitrator will almost always support another arbitrator's decision (to maintain the integrity of the process and as a matter of job security).
6. The final arbitrated AA list will not be based on DOH but will be an animal unto itself.
7. APA and the West pilots will accept the arbitrated list. East pilots will once again refuse to follow the binding arbitration they agreed to and scream USAPA Forever! while being laughed at by the rest of the industry.
8. There will be a representation vote and since APA and West pilots outnumber East pilots, USAPA will be relegated to the dung heap from which it sprang.
9. Everyone in the industry will be relieved that the ********************hole called USAPA is dead and no longer embarrassing the pilot profession. We will all laugh at the former east pilots as they continue to whine "But DOH was supposed to be the gold standard. The Nic was supposed to be dead. How did this happen?"
