2014 Pilot Discussion

[end_of_alpa]

BTW, where is the West Domicile recap for last weeks meeting?  I guess they are too ashamed to post it.

My personal "favorite" among the "Integrity Matters" T-shirts crowd must always remain "sparta's" famous hero "NiceLandingCaptain", who claimed magically saving "hundreds of troops on the ground" in his nebulous "gray jet", but somehow without ever coming anywhere even close to a combat theater. I'm sure you'll always remember that sad creature as well.

 
I well remember, though I wish I could forget.  It is a chilling thought, indeed, that this company currently has an individual in the cockpit who actually felt a jolt to his self esteem by posting imaginary combat exploits on this forum.  Then basked in the afterglow as a few well meaning but naive readers thanked him for his "service."
 
Pure insanity.

Bid results are out.

 

[Claxon]

Sorry Tony, I did my solo flight before you in 1974 and started here before you scab ridden airline was even in existence, now go make another video.

Snappy Tony will surely be poring over the latest bid award( east)
Notice the new hiring. Notice the ++ marks by the 330 and 767pilots. Could have west pilots in those new positions, but now will not.
How does Eric Ferguson face his fellow west pilots in the crew room? It is said he checks in by phone, and reports directly to the trip he can hold that will take him to east hubs. It is that bad. Koontz spends his days in CLT USAPA HQ avoiding the pilots he has led astray.
Liberty Ties lay unsold, polyester breaking down and becoming brittle.
More east bids to come. How long will SNAPTHIS continue to fly in the face of reality? All others have slunk away, understanding the truth.

Well as one large west female pointed out, your career is in the desert, guess she was looking in the mirror, gotta luv female intuition!

Well said, west pilots dump AOL now look at where you could be and the money you could be making with your DOH, I bet it's better than what you are doing locked on the island.


AOL screwed you over big time.

Bottom LIne  no dog in this fight ! Long retired a little better but to me, the real fight was COC!, hell yeah, voted NO! for the MOU , HUMMEL a toy, what a mulipulated moron, now his we can fight strategy. ( JOKE) But better yet the WEST played like a fiddle, they voted ALL LOA'S away! ( OH YES THE PREVIOUS T/A WHICH CALLED FOR THE NIC WAS A LOA) Yet continue probably due to EX TWA pilots campaign that actually left and went back to AA, (does covering your bet actually come to mind or SELF SERVING ever enter into a thought process arise here) ! Our boy KEVIN HORNER, self serving seniority jumping specialist! To be clear the facts, USAPA official agent, McaskillBond, FEDERAL STATUTE, ! Run you can not hide!

Some say perception is reality... If your nightmare lasts ten years, you might not be asleep.

USAPA President's Message




Fellow Pilots,

There was movement last week with respect to the negotiation of a Protocol Agreement with APA and the Company. The NMB asked the parties (APA, USAPA and the Company) to meet with NMB Chief of Staff Dan Rainey. The meeting took place in Washington, D.C., at the NMB on Wednesday, July 23. At the meeting Mr. Rainey suggested the parties engage in private mediation concerning the Protocol Agreement.

Mediation is a process in which the mediator assists the parties in reaching a voluntary resolution. The mediator has no authority to compel any party to make any agreement.

The parties have agreed to this suggestion and have asked George Cohen, former head of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), to act as the mediator.

Mr. Cohen served as FMCS Director from 2009 until the end of 2013. The FMCS is an independent federal government agency that provides mediation services to resolve labor disputes that affect interstate commerce. While FMCS Director, Mr. Cohen personally mediated disputes involving Major League Soccer and the Major League Soccer Players Union, the Metropolitan Opera and its orchestra musicians represented by American Federation of Musicians Local 802, the National Football League and the National Football League Players Association, the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, the American Red Cross and a national coalition of labor unions, and the NBA and the NBA Players Association.

As is customary in mediation, the mediation process will be conducted privately and only the results will be announced. The participants will include the Merger Committees for APA and USAPA, Merger Counsel for the Committees, and representatives from the Company. Mediation sessions will begin on August 5 in Washington, D.C. Any resulting agreement will be subject to approval as required by the governing documents of each party.

This is an opportunity for the parties to resolve any differences concerning the Protocol Agreement so that we can move on with an orderly process leading to an integrated seniority list. USAPA and our Merger Committee view this as a positive development that promises to provide the best opportunity for the parties to reach a Protocol Agreement that will protect the rights of all pilots in achieving a fair and equitable integrated seniority list.

We will keep you posted on further developments.

Regards,



Gary Hummel, President
