There is an announcement from Tracy Parella on USAPA's website.

Gee, there's a shock.

What did they lose? What was LOA 93? Details, please.

LOA 93 is the concessionary LOA that reduced USAirways East pay rates (among other concessions). USAPA's contention was that the pay cuts expired on a certain date. Apparently the arbitrator was smart enough to see through that nonsense. It's too bad, though. Those rates snapping up could have been a big help to a lot of groups in negotiations. They just had no reasonable argument for why they should. Hopefully USAPA will finally figure out that they'll need to negotiate in good faith instead of playing these games. But I wouldn't count on it.

Okaaaay, that was strange. I was reading this thread and it suddenly disappeared. Now it's back. Huh? Someone care to post the ruling?

Only in this industry do some celebrate such a loss and its affects on so many people.

Others are right: this puts downward pressure on the piloting "profession" as a whole and really benefits nobody in the end.
