Was relative or DOH rejected by SW/AAI?

Were these items already covered?

Hahahaha that's some funny stuff right there. Even the thought of arbitration seems to be rejected by the WN pilots who post here. If their argument is valid, the Arbitrator will see it their way. Why are they so upset?

 

[texman]

No fear.

 

[ultrarunner]

Ok, so has an official request for binding arbitration been made?

Why are they so upset?

Who's upset?

On a more important note who is your avatar?

There was a notion that DOH was traded for all the undefined protections in SL9 such as junior CA keeping seats.

I am being told that nothing regarding seniority is fair in SW eyes due to their retirements so looks like arbitration followed by po ed pilots and rich attorneys.

Interesting comments Wood Pecker. But at the end of the day, if a binding arbitration award is issued, and the majority doesn't like it (in this case the SWAPA), they simply refuse to negotiate a combined list. Seeing how the precedence has been set. How may years ago was AWA/USAir...7 years now? How close are they to Nic being implemented?

Yeah baby.....

No one wants this. The scenario you describe (USAIR east v. west) is ugly for both sides.

All of the interested parties should hope/pray that they can come up with a negotiated agreement before we go to arbitration. At least they are talking.

Cheers.

Honest question...


Do you REALLY think ALPA wants a negotiated settlement?

Not slamming the MC, but I just don't see the MEC signing off on anything at this point.

Unless its a DoH or a Post-93 ratio, I'd reject ANY offer in favor of arbitration. But that's just me.

Fubi. You make the choice.

But it's also human nature.

Take your dollar and buy a lottery ticket.

If Mr. Kelly makes you an offer and you turn it down. That's your choice. If you chose arbitration instead I think you are being a fool. But you decide. Human psychology is an interesting discipline. The reason most small investors shouldn't manage their portfolio...well it's the same thing.

I believe the arbitrator will give the AAI pilots their earned seniority. The culture of the SWA staple went into the dustbin with Bond/McCaskill.

Sorry if you Canyon Blue juice suckers won't admit that.

 

[luvfan]

Earned?

That is one of the funniest things I've read in a long long time.

You are a fool.

 

[wood pecker]

Ultra of course I don't want to step on toes but as you have noticed unless it gets put our for a vote then us pilots get no say.

I think the MC was instructed to go for seniority which is valuable to both sides or go to arbitration.

The risk being yeah, SWAPA / GK does not have to follow the ruling any more than you and I have to go 250 below 10,000. However there are consequences.

Therefore it will be 2 unions enriching attorneys to decipher each others fancy clauses while all of us gripe on FI.

The good news is after seeing all the foreclosures in my hood I can take comfort in an abandoned home for the winter.
