US Airways seeks declaratory judgement on pilot seniority issue

[tomgoodman]

Prediction

I think the Court will duck the issue by saying something like:
"Proceed at your own risk. We cannot foresee what kind of list will emerge, let alone what problems such a hypothetical list might cause, until it is actually approved."

Regardless of what happens, everyone KNOWS the East guys are a bunch of BABIES. Don't sign up for binding arbitration if you don't intend to follow the judgement. Cry baby arseholes!


Bye Bye---General Lee

Give us a fair arbitration and we will honor it. We don't submit to corruption and blackmail. Being an ALPA pimp, you probably wouldn't understand

First off, I don't work for US Airways. LOA 93 expired December 31, 2009. The company has chosen to ignore this fact and is still paying LOA 93 wages. My understanding is this is going through the grievance process and the company will probably lose eventually. That will bring the wages back up to near Delta wages. I'm guessing the company wants a new contract before that happens. If the company does lose the LOA 93 arbitration before a new contract is signed, it may have to pay back-wages. It also doesn't help the company's cause that it just showed a record profit second quarter.

You are exactly right on ALLA accoutns. Good post

The question I simple. "Are we liable if we accept usapa's demands of doh?" There is no middle ground with usapa they either get to steal everything or they threaten to destroy the company. Neither will EVER happen.

Most of the tripe you post isn't worth the keystrokes to respond but this is just too delicious to ignore. You'd have us believe you'd honor an arbitration if only it met your definition of 'fair'? Well guess what, bubba, the participants in an arbitration don't get to decide if the ruling is fair. Your opinion of the Nic is as worthless as mine.

Your actions and statements have proven you have no honor and no integrity.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Guppie - Please elaborate why you think hockeypilots' view is wrong - I say that could be a valid view

Uh huh. "Fair" meaning USAPA sits on both sides of the table, right? I'm SURE they will "represent" the West pilots. Honor? You guys are a joke.

Bullsh*t. You guys have no "honor". You're pathetic, half-witted, failed, thugs.

ALPA caused you far less problems than USAPA.

That is an extremely optimistic view of the issue. Yes, LOA93 had an expiration date yet there was no specific mention of a snapback. Generally speaking, when contracts have snapback provisions the language is explicit. I say this without any emotion or animosity: knowing how arbitrators generally side with management I'd say chances are very high the East will lose.

AA has it's own train wreck to deal with. They don't need another one from US Air.
