That is a rather interesting quote that could be interpretted in either sides favor.
Duh. The company is trying to appear neutral. In any case it doesn't matter since it's up to the judge to decide now. So do you think the judge is going to tell the company they won't be liable if they negotiate a new list?
 
Good for you all that showed up to picket.

Yeah!! Go get em' Tough guys!!!!:laugh::laugh:

What an embarrassing joke. God I'll miss making Fun of those Eastholes when USAPA is gone. Of course Cleary thinks the IBT headed up by the Amerijet pilots are going to come save him. Perhaps they can join him on the picket line with their company issued port a potty's?!!

Yep. No lavs, Amerijet pilots literally get to carry around their own waste. That's the best the IBT could do for their pilots.

If USAPA is around in 2 years I think you can expect the same kind of contract.

BTW, I doubt more than 50 showed at this event. USAPA has a history of tweaking info to make themselves look better. Besides even if 150 showed, that's still pathetic, and a sure sign of how impotent USAPA is. Fools.

:laugh::laugh:
 
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.

Nothing like the old wet dream of a spin off for McDoosh when things aren't going his way.

Not going to happen Doosh. There is no West to be spun.

BTW - Nice picket. After you subtract the 30 or so flight pay loss hacks, the IBT guys drooling for our dues money, a few FA's, we are left with 30-50 angry pilots wearing CA's jackets and FO hats.

Parker must be freaking out after today's display of power.
 
Word has it somewhere between 100 and 150 showed up and picketed. So much for the title of the thread.

Last I checked US Airways' headquarters are located in Phoenix. How many USAPA pilots would picket in Tempe? Lets face it, the two reps that came out to PHX could not even attend a meeting with pilots, let alone motivate any pilot to do anything.

That's a pretty piss poor turnout for such a large pilot group.
 
whatever, as opposed to the whole 20 Airtran pilots I saw out infront of the ATL terminal a few years back.

AirTran is in negotiations? Never even knew.

Vet,

I've never looked at pig titties. What are you looking at pig titties? You worry me boy. Oink oink.

You obviously missed the 160 pilots we had picketing in ATL early this summer. 10% of our pilot group made it on their day off to picket.

I think you may have miised the point. Without the support of West pilots, there will be no strike. How many America West pilots showed up with the impressive show of force and resolve? Maybe one.

I think USAPA has bigger problems to worry about having excluded 40% of the pilot group from being fairly represented. As a result, there will be no supporting the objectives of this association.

Period.
 
I found a few examples from our secret message boards..

1) So I'm already pissed this morning as it is and I get a call 704 936 4500. I answer the phone and the voice say "This is Mike Cleary and I would like you to join me on the picket line in Philly tomorrow" I wanted to jump THRU the phone line an strangle that bastard and would have if I could get my big azz inside the line !!

2) The nerve of this ass to even THINK that I would support usapa in ANY action against LCC is ridiculous. Ohhh I am still hot as fish grease....

3) I think the recording got the the words USAPA before I hung up. I don't need any more of my life wasted on that scum.

4) I actually said, "**** you." before I hung up.

5) My fiancee answered, rolled her eyes, hung up, looked at me and said "It was UxxxBA". LOL


Cowboy-

Ya know, i used to enjoy reading some of your posts and then countering them back in a reasonable discussion - but these posts in this thread - man what kinda of drugs you been taking today? Totally ridiculous comments - and no flame intended - just some honest criticism - it is much more enjoyable to discuss issues with you when you quote real facts - not made up dribble.

No offense taken. I have pretty thick skin. Those were actual quotes that I posted, not made up dribble.

I don't do drugs but enjoy an occaisional Shiner Bock, from the great state of Texas. :beer:

A few years back? Nice try, but the first time AirTran pilots ever picketed was last spring. And we had more pilots in attendance at that event than USAPA had, despite having 1/5 as many pilots.

Well then - maybe we can have a Shiner Bock (or two) one day and settle all this - cause even though I am an east coaster - I agree with you that Texas is a great state!
