US Airways Pilot Pool and Hiring

[pave driver]

I've asked this before and will here again. Does anyone know if Parker received an approval for a new separate America West certificate? The rumor I've heard is that he wants to integrate the original US Airways with American to avoid past labor problems. I have heard this more the once and need to find where to get information on this. Thanks.

St. Nic,

If I wanted a childish response I'll ask my kids. Anyone else know where to find this information?

The Nic is conditional on an East/West TA that will never happen.

Now we have a CLA that includes APA as third party not interested in Nicoli's arbitrated seniority award.

Per age 65, AMR/US Air will retire 4234 pilots in the next 8 years—America West pilots will be fine either way. :smash:

DOH = gold standard

If DOH is the gold standard, one must wonder what would happen in the next 7 years when half the current East group ends up retiring due to age 65? Their seats will be replaced by newhire US Air pilots from the regionals/military/corporate/etc, and they will be at the bottom of the list. The Am West pilots + the newhire US Air pilots will, one day in the next 7 years, outnumber the number of original older US Air guys. Once that happens, isn't the tide going to change back against the favor of USAPA? And then when the East oldies don't hold majority, won't the Nic award be implemented?

You're saying that the retirements of East pilots will allow for an appeal later?

Doubtful, Nic will either be implemented before the merger or never.
