USAPA members refuse to picket in Philly

[vetrider]

Usapa picket=tits on a boar hog. It's not hard to figure out why. Self help? Ha ha ha ha.

And the reaction sampled on this thread is not limited to west pilots either. Usapa is impotent.

The West is about to be spun-off. All this internet bravado will not make a difference then. There is an airline that really has no use for a PHX desert hub.

Where's JJ? Looks like he left his job at the Usapian spin machine to run around in circles in Philly.

Kind of lonely without your pal, isn't it Marty? :nuts:

Did you see in the news where that D-bag Cleary was qouted as saying he hoped the new contract would be enough of a raise so the west wouldn't want to be in litigation any longer. Like the company is going to offer enough money so he can get out of binding arbitration. HAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAH! What an idiot. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Jump out of the way Cleary DFR II is about to roll over you!

I'm just waiting for Parker will slap them upside the head. Remember, they have to choke on the Cactus callsign as a result of a USA Today ad.

I wonder what he has up his sleeve.

What is the status of the Company's lawsut regarding the Nic?

Could be a few months based on an article written in late July.

Paul Jones, US Airways vice president of legal affairs, said Monday on a conference call with reporters. "We're asking for a declaratory judgment that tells us right now what rights and obligations we have, and what rights and obligations USAPA has. "Rather than waiting until there is a contract in place and then have a lawsuit that might undo the contract, we're asking the court to determine what we and USAPA can legally do," Jones said. "If the court gives us what we're asking for, there would be no basis for a lawsuit once the contract is in place." Jones said the case could be concluded in a few months if the attorneys for the two sides will agree not to duplicate the discovery process that occurred last year, when the court heard its first case on the seniority ruling. In that case, Judge Neil Wake ruled that USAPA was not fairly representing all of its pilots because it had not implemented the Nicolau award. In June, the U.S. Appeals Court in San Francisco overturned that ruling , saying it was too soon for a decision because no seniority ruling has been implemented. The case has been assigned to Judge Roslyn Silver, but Marty Harper, attorney for the west pilots, said he will ask that it be moved to Judge Wake. "This is normally routine, when you've got a related case pending," he said.

Too bad that airline saved you from certain liquidation.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Word has it somewhere between 100 and 150 showed up and picketed. So much for the title of the thread.

That is a rather interesting quote that could be interpretted in either sides favor.
