Great post. That about sums it up.
The biggest loud mouths on here are seem to be Ex East pilots who chose not to take the recall and are trying to leap frog fellow classmates out East by hundreds of numbers.

Greed? That is a stretch, the East has not gotten nor will get any pay raises for a long time. The East also does not want any part of West flying. The West can name their own protections and limits. The only thing you cant have is the East jobs. It really is that simple. To sum it up the East wants nothing from the West.. The West wants the East Seats. Greedy indeed.
After what your esteemed, integrity filled MEC, tried to do to the ex CEL pilots, you have some nerve saying anything about honor. For those that don't know, the West MEC petitioned the court to have the CEL pilots removed, that's right removed, not just placed at the bottom of the combined list. Among the reasons given include that the CEL only flew DHC-8's and therefore might not posess the ability to fly a larger ML aircraft.
If that is what you think is Honor and Integity you are a shoe in for ALPA national. I suggest if the opportunity ever arises, you go for it.
AWA needed this merger. AWA would be history without it. USair would have been just fine without Mesa Grande.

wow fr8 you should apply for the USAPA position of Minister of Propoganda. You are quite talented in that field. They wanted the CEL pilots removed strictly for negotiating reasons.
It's right out of the West brief to the arbitraitorThe one you stated is ridiculous.
I know you will claim that they were mainline pilots ect but they simply were not. One question proves that fact. I doubt you will even address this but prior to the merger were the CEL pilots allowed to bid A-320 FO without going through an interview?????
I would argue that after the merger there is no east or west flying. As everybody who has half a brain knows the east wouldn't even still be around. All the resources from AWA were redirected towards the new US Airways. The new internationl destinations would not have happened absent the merger. It is not 'your flying.'

Funny you should use a quote that I heard mentioned while flying Dash 8's for one of the wholly-owned carriers when we were trying to negotiate a flow thru agreement with your MEC..... back in 1989 !! Next time why not try getting your facts straight before posting.
