First off I guess I am not as pessimistic as you are as both AAA and UAL will make it through this current “crisis.” It’s not the first, nor the last the airlines will face.
As to MCDU don’t know him. I guess it’s just to difficult for you to accept there could be more than one person who understands the NIC is crap.
Nic is "crap" even though it was the end result of a pre-arranged and agreed to process. That's crap.
But it's okay, to use simple majority, Hijack a union, totally disenfranchise 40% of the pilot group, sue them, threaten them with termination if they won't pay for their new "service". A service that is unabashedly and clearly defined as existing for NO OTHER REASON than to staple 80% of AMW.
As of now, every AMW furloughee brought a job to this merger and every East 99 hire, who had no job, who had no realistic future at this diseased airline, remains employed. If you were placed in this situation you would fight just as hard, don't BS yourself.
So Which is more "crap"? Nic, is hardly a windfall. Unless you call being bolted to a parasitic airline that only specializes in furloughs, crashing and navigating through Bankruptcy court a windfall.
If this airline survives long enough, the law will settle this matter. I doubt it will however.
This airline is a cancer, the faster it dies the faster the healthy body can recover. Call it natures, do over. We'll see how valuable DOH is then.
