Hamas is a great analogy to USAPA.

So you've made a lateral move to a regional that flies a handful of large aircraft.

Yippee, I'll bet it's all you ever dreamed of.

I know you feel it's terrible here and it is by far the WORST of the Legacies, but reserve here is far better than being a middle of the pack line holder at the regionals. I don't regret my move one bit, ask me again in a few more years of USAPA continuing to keep us from getting the pay and contract we deserve.

Meanwhile, I'll fly and keep my resume and applications updated elsewhere.

Wise move. Don't emotionally invest here. You'll buy high and sell low.

Wow Dave that is a step in the right direction! You are finally agreeing that the nic was devastating to the east and we have grief and the KR model. Thanks for understanding. If you agree that it was devastating to us then you must also agree that the west got a huge windfall as well (your 2 month guy in training being the captain of our 16.4 year guys).

Not so fast, Chuck. While the Nicolau may be perceived as a devastating event by you & many other east pilots, that does not make it fact. Just opinion.

I understand that the AAA MEC taught the AAA pilots that Date of Hire was a "lock". I understand that Arbitrator Nicolau instructed the AAA MC that Date of Hire was NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, and yet they (AAA MEC) continued to lead the AAA pilots that DOH was the way it was going down.

The devastation was self taught & self imposed. The two most junior employed pilots that brought a job to the merger were placed right next to each other (Mondus & O'Dell). How is that a windfall??

This will finish, and in the correct legal way. The DOH will lose ultimately, and we will ALL have lost Hundreds of Millions in pay, benefits & time off.

Sad.

It's supposed to be incomparably better than any regional!!!

That's the whole reason folks sweat it out instructing and then dodging storms in a clapped out 310 full seat belt buckles headed to Cleveland, then sitting on the slowly creeping career moving sidewalk called the regionals. The only thing keeping US from being a top-tier career is a couple hundred selfish senior F/O's on the east who ginned up USAPA in the first place and their 3000 ignorant and equally selfish co-workers who enable them (through their tacit approval) to hold the rest of the airline hostage to their indefensible and unreasonable demands. They know full well that if the pilots could vote on the MOU offer w/Nic, it would pass overwhelmingly.

You (and I) worked too hard to inherit someone else's raw deal in perpetuity.

Actually you are somewhat on the right anaolgy just reversed - aren't the Westies always accusing the East of occupying their "lawfully awarded Captains Seat"?

You should go on youtube and watch some of those video's showing Hamas blowing themselves up by accident - sort of like those dumb videos the West has put out - especially that last music rapping video of some Westies trying to sing.

I would pass on US...

If it is so much better elsewhere, and the future here even worse, why don't you just make yourself happy and leave now to any place where it is better?

Move on and don't look back.

Why give advice you wouldn't follow yourself?

Has Doug accepted the DOH list yet? Or even entertaind the idea of accepting the DOH list yet? Been out of the loop for a while and just curious if anything has changed.

Doug is focused on AA.

APA is focused on DOH + 2 advantage for them in the event of a merge.

hey bird, answer my question!

So says the returning furloughee that feels it's his right to steal a few hundred west postions. I doubt you'll find many new hires interested in your brand of delusion.

Your credibility is virtually non existant.

 

[Bringupthebird]

Why give advice you wouldn't follow yourself?

I would have loved to have advice many many years ago that someday a group of so-called pilots would coalesce into a group made in the image of Lorenzo to attack fellow pilots and let their selfishness drag down the entire profession. But I had optimism and confidence in the brotherhood of pilots that that would never happen.

That confidence has obviously been misplaced.
