"What's next now for AA/US possible merger'

[B-atch]

B;
In your opinion (and those of your ilk) the arbitrator & pilot neutrals "failed to deliver a Fair and Equitable SLI". It is for that very reason that USAPA was formed launched and voted in a little more that a year later. It is a legal FACT that USAPA was hatched for the sole purpose of defeating / evading the Nicolau seniority list.
P
The process that was followed is also binding, it just doesn't have the word "federal" in front of it. The merger between USAPA & APA (should it occur) will indeed be adjudicated by the exact SAME organization. These same men & women all work together, and it would be reasonable to assume that the three chosen are friends of and/or mentees of Arbitrator Nicolau.

I would ask this: IF USAPA somehow puts DOH, DOH-lite, etc. in front of the panel of three arbitrators, how do you suppose those three will view USAPA after hearing all of the negative things they have said against Arbitrator Nicolau?

Our seniority landscape has changed somewhat since the Nic. Mixing in the AA pilots would further morph the "New" list. Regardles of what the "New" award would look like, all parties will have to live within its confines...And that is MY oppinion...

You are EXACTLY correct. The seniority landscape has changed since the SNAPSHOT in 2005. The new company (LCC) returned all FURLOUGHED former US Air pilots to the NEW US Airways. These would be the people that had no job and no hope of returning to the former US Air in its former condition.

So you say that since these people are now back and the east is bigger, we can thus change the seniority because you say so. USAPA says DOH? Great. I would encourage our leadership to get the lead out and start moving toward a JCBA. As President Hummell said in a recent e-mail..."USAPA is free to propose any seniority integration and is not bound by the NIC."

Time to get moving closer to that DFR bar. Let's get 'er done. Winning!

I have tried to search this and get caught up, but I'm confused. Can someone answer: It's correct that American mgt backed off the deepest of bk cuts they wanted to impose a couple months ago? Or all of them? Is the pre APA contract in place as it was pre bk? I was caught up til the judge declined mgt's first request...

ALPA stands to lose a substantial DFR case to former TWA pilots. DAL pilots need only dissolve DALPA to avoid liability. DPA only requires <500 more cards for a certification vote.

Similarly, USAPA may dissolve if it stands to lose any case. Likewise, APA will explore all options that would limit liability—a new third merged-American Pilot Union may emerge.

Leonidas' stance that US Airways acceptance of any non-Nic list may be the last best hope for West damages.

As the human torch says... "Flame On!" :angryfire
