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

[Flopgut]

Integrity? The kind when you tell someone you will pay them $1 for a widget, and they let you have the widget. Then, you only pay them $.20 for the widget when the bills come due??

huh? what?

Guys, don't waste your time with this poser. He is probably being paid to stir up the pot on these forums.

"pulled a fast one" on your other side,

Bye Bye---General Lee

Actually Private Lee we pulled a "slow one" and if Ms. Silver finally makes up her mind (she's pulling a slow one too) and her decision is that the ex-con, chug-a-lug dougweiser Parker (I hope we can someday get a non-drunk as a CEO) can't negotiate with unions then we will appeal. Then after a two or three year appeal we will then vote no to any contract that contains a violation of ALPA merger policy (the nic). You AWA guys are smarter than us. You win. Ha ha ha ha.

That might be a better analogy, but your group did accept the binding agreement prior to the award. Your MEC chair signed the papers for you. You all agreed on the arbitrator. Because you didn't agree with the award, the union was kicked out as an end around to the award. That is just plain dirty. I hope it is decided tomorrow, but if this act of denying an award is allowed, all arbitration in the future will be in question, because everyone will be allowed to find an end around to avoid it.

Private Lee this is business. It isn't personel so don't take it as such. There is no integrity in business at all. I own a business and you good folk from the south will screw me in a second if I let you so grow up. You must have been an "employee" your whole life but if you ever try to run a business you need to grow a spine. Our ex-con ceo has a spine and will use it against us no matter how missy silver decides if she will ever make a decision. Dirty? Are you for real? The airline business has always been "clean".

GROW UP? Look who is talking. Those same arbitrators also do salary disputes for NFL players and teams. If the team doesn't like the award, do they just not pay? NO, they pay up. You guys decided to play ball, but walk away like complete sore losers because you didn't like the decision. You need to grow up. LOOOZERS. I can't wait to see what the APA would do with you guys if another SLI came up. Your guy would say "Come on, THIS TIME WE WILL PLAY BY THE RULES......." Riiiiiight.

Thank GAWD I am not at USAir, your combo is a train wreck. And it looks like any combo with AA would also result in the same. Your career has already tanked, and it's about to get worse. I do win, I make more than most of your Captains as an FO. I do have friends at AWA, and eventually as you old guys retire in the East, they will win too. Keep holding out for the arbitrated award, and hit your earning potential, in your last few years. Real smart Grandpa!

So if you pay a crap load of money to a union you say it's a gamble? Craps...Roulette? You get NOTHING for your dues? I thought WRONGLY that my dues money got me a little protection...ooooppps. I respect NFL players as much as my ex-con ceo.

Was the NIC award thrown out? No? Then it will follow the group. It may take awhile to be implemented, but it wasn't thrown out. Looks like your union can still negotiate, but if the company uses a seniority list other than the NIC award, then they will be free to sue. Overall, your airline LOSES, including YOU.

YOUR GUY at the Union decided it was fair to allow Nicelau to do the arbitration. He speaks for you. You elected him. TOO BAD. When someone signs up for something, especially something BINDING, you do it. You didn't have to do it initially, but YOUR GUY signed you up for it. You as a group LOST. Then, you didn't like the award, so like wheenies you tried to avoid it, while everyone was watching. I guess you also don't respect arbitrators apparently, and the APA I'm sure has taken notice. Your group is not trustworthy at all.....and is the laughing stock of the industry.
