USAPA Trial

[Crzipilot]

Yes, and a democratic vote is not grounds for dfr, just because you are outnumbered......

Heyas,

Not taking sides, BUT, DFR cases have traditionally been EXTREMELY tough to prove, let alone collect from.

The common man has no love of unions, and this is looking just like a lovers spat to most people (IE a jurist).

Before the west (or east) guys get their hopes up too high for a slam dunk, be ready for a verdict from left field.

So using your logic, if we merged with the larger NEW Delta and "we the pilots" wanted to democratically vote to staple the smaller NEW USAir pilots to the bottom of the list, you would be OK with that? Riiiiiiight.

Gee that's funny. I've had lots of DAL guys claim the same thing (that they got screwed). I guess it was a pretty fair integration after all?

And how would a USAPA-like in-house union make things better? Oh, it wouldn't.

All I heard during the trial was how the West was going to be protected. Over and over again, protected, protected, protected.

The truth is USAPA was wearing protection while we get the shaft!

Excuse me , that was not a "purchase" or "merge" your company had to pay to play....

Airways sucked a fee out of your company just to let you have the 'privilege" to fly for them....
This "investment" gave new meaning to the term outsourcing a contract carrier!

You do realize that had that "investment" not been "sucked out of (their) company "; US east might have very well been forced to liquidate taking Piedmont and PSA down along with it. You do realize that, don't you ?

Yes I realize that X 4... during those times i was applying for sim. instructor positions because I thought Airways was about to go t1ts up. (not many other places were hiring at the time either if I recall correctly). Not only did I realize that I was one of the red headed step children immersed in that realization.

My point is that it was a business transaction, those pilots have no rights to be attached to any Airways seniority list because of it. I'm not bashing that pilot group, but the few that think they deserve some kind of 'flow" rights are in never, never land.

Did i happen to mention that i realized that?

HAve you guys considered confronting Doug? After all, this all happened with his OK.

You are kidding-right?? Doug is the most happy guy on the planet with the 2 groups fighting with permanent B scale wages and working conditions in place.

Yep, the status quo is just fine with Doug. Another perfect example of dumb pilots making idiot managers look like geniuses.
