Best post of the year well said my west sister!

What did the Marines teach you about Integrity? Honor? You are a poor example of what it means to be a Marine without those two qualities.

Hi not so super birdie your little avatar says it all mrs integrity. I hope you don't have a daughter.

I must have hit a nerve with you. Your desperation is entertaining yet at the same time, irrelevent. Much like u-s-a-p-a. Tell us more about what you failed to learn during your stint in the Marines.

"Charlie"? ; wasnt that the call sign of Kelly McGillis in your favorite movie? What are you trying to tell us?

I did like that movie and some of my instructors in Pensacola flew the jets for the movie and it was fun to hear their stories about it. Charlie was my chocolate lab that I had to put down a few years back and I do miss him. I think you are failing to understand that if I backed down on my position I would consider that a lack of integrity. Now I know we have a big dissagreement but I don't think the west or east pilots have a lack of integrity. We agreed to a process that we thought, wrongly, would follow our unions policy. We were wrong. We believe that putting a 2 month person ahead of a 16.4 year person is wrong, a gigantic windfall for one of the parties and was against our union policy and we have enough integrity to fight it. It would have been a huge lack of integrity to tell our 16.4 year people that their service to the company means nothing and you will fly FO for the 2 month pilots. I sincerely hope a nic like award never happens to you! Just think about it for a minute you work at a company for over 16 years and they make the new hires your captain. Please don't tell me you wouldn't fight it.

I will fight the nic until the end because I believe it violated common sense, ALPA policy, decency and basic sense of giving some modicum of credit for ones service to an organization.

So, you don't want the leverage that comes from unity. Instead you grab what you want in defiance of an agreed-to arbitration.

Semper Fail.

No, it integrated the SENIORITY (not longevity) of each side into one list, just as it was supposed to. Nicolau made an exception for the widebody equipment, which was unfair to the AWA senior people, but they accepted it without all the drama that the east is so fond of.

The circumstances that lead to a 16 yr pilot being furloughed should not be borne by the pilots of the other side.

And you know that the true upgrade delay that would accompany the Nic would average less than 2 years. In other words, by now it would have been a wash.

Twice.

Look to other recent arbitrations, you are spot on. Most furloughed pilots at the time of the merger were considered mendicants.
