2014 Pilot Discussion

[prechilill]

USAPA's 90 day DOH contract and seniority list is in a metal file cabinet headed for the trash dump. 

 
LOL!!!
 
Where the he!! is that goon Bradford???  Figured he would be back on here with another "back of the van" plan...
 
So, what's plan B for the DOH crowd?  Serious question, for serious men doing serous work...
 
Rankin must be calling dad right about now with a bag full of tears...
oh the humanity...

It's funny watching all the cactus scabs coming out of the woodwork when we we have not heard from them for years. Enjoy it while you can you have a big disappointment coming.


Yes, "for now"

Usapa actually saved me a ton of money especially on theses coffee cups, speak for your self, oh costly millions to the pilot group!

 

[prechilill]

I hope they take that risk. I'd like nothing better than seeing them convicted and hauled to prison.

God, wouldn't that be great!  Somehow, I think the "tough guys" on here are going to be quiet little mice from now on, the bravado is evaporating fast.  A few more months, once the Nic is established, all the USAP cheerleading squad will have disappeared. 
A great day for us all!  No more scab union...
 
God bless the APA!

Did you get your reserve schedule yet? No more easy dues money. You have to work.

National Mediation Board Certification

What's Next

With the National Mediation Board's certification of the Allied Pilots Association as the representative for the pilots of American Airlines, APA now has the legal duty to fairly represent all American Airlines pilots, including the US Airways pilots formerly represented by the US Airline Pilots Association.
The NMB's certification initiates the process by which US Airways pilots will become APA members and elect representatives at their new domiciles. With assistance from the APA Membership Committee and benefits department staff, the national officers will conduct a membership drive at CLT, PHL and PHX. During these briefings, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the advantages of APA membership. DCA-based US Airways pilots will receive their information from the existing APA DCA domicile.
In accordance with the APA Constitution and Bylaws, the APA Membership Committee is reviewing all applications for APA membership, with several hundred applications from US Airways pilots now pending. Once the committee concludes its review, each application goes to an APA domicile for a vote by its members. New applicants from US Airways will be represented on an interim basis by the geographically closest APA domicile (CLT: DCA, PHL: LGA, PHX: LAX), while US Airways pilots in DCA will be integrated into our existing DCA domicile. Voting on membership applications will take place at upcoming domicile meetings.
Once applicants receive approval as members, we will create new domiciles. The number of domicile members will determine the number of domicile representatives. Domiciles with 100 members or fewer will have one representative, the domicile chairman. Domiciles with 101 or more members will have a domicile chairman and vice chairman. These domicile representatives will serve as members of the APA board of directors when the board is in session. Initially, the APA president will appoint each domicile representative, who will serve until an election is held.
The NMB's APA certification date also serves as a trigger for the Merger Transition Agreement timeline. The timeline guides the completion of the joint collective bargaining agreement and the integrated seniority list process.
JCBA Timeline
30-Day Clock: JCBA negotiations continue for 30 days. If JCBA negotiations are not completed, the company can offer interest arbitration.
60-Day Clock: If interest arbitration is initiated, the arbitration decision shall be issued no later than 60 days after the close of the 30-day negotiation time period.
The integrated seniority list process continues in accordance with the seniority integration protocol agreement, with the MTA condition that the seniority integration arbitration will not begin until the JCBA is complete. The seniority integration arbitration must render its award within six months of starting and no later than 24 months after Dec. 9, 2013, the merger's effective date.
When the opportunity arises, we encourage you to extend a warm welcome to our US Airways brothers and sisters. We look forward to representing all of the pilots of American Airlines.

The Company take


NMB certifies APA as single representative for combined pilot groups
Today the National Mediation Board (NMB) certified the Allied Pilots Association (APA) as the bargaining agent for all pilots at American Airlines and US Airways. APA now represents 15,000 pilots at the new American. We look forward to a healthier relationship with our pilots moving forward. Read more about this labor integration milestone on the Agreement Updates page on Jetnet or Wings.

Policy change for employee moves between American and Envoy
A lot of progress has been made this year toward aligning policies and benefits for our mainline employees. As part of that effort, we also reviewed how our recently integrated policies and benefits align with our wholly owned regionals, all of which are putting together their own competitive offerings to attract and retain top talent. All three of our wholly owned regionals operate very independently, including Envoy, which has made significant progress toward building its own unique identity.

Effective Nov. 1, 2014, we will align our policies for employees moving between all of our wholly owned subsidiaries by adopting the legacy US Airways policy for transfers between the mainline and wholly owned carriers. For an overview and explanation of the change, read Cindy Fiedelman’s letter, available on Jetnet and Wings. And for more details, including frequently asked questions, visit Jetnet or Wings

Says it all... USAPA is a cancer that's been eradicated from Parker's company.  The goons from CLT now have nothing to back them up.  I wonder if we will see investigations into the improprieties by the USAPA goons?  Hmmm
 
What a great day!   Remember, you all be good union pilots!!!

 

[CactusPilot1]

LOL!!!

oh the humanity...

They'll have to sell their own ties or compete with the bathroom attendants in the Charlotte hub to start a legal fund. That's because the money they think they are entitled to will be cold cash as in FROZEN. Tied up in court for a very long time until they get around to sorting it all out. You know how slow the court system is and we can use it to our benefit. Meanwhile, the process moves on, Leonidas is well funded and the USAPA LLC is at the starting gate with a tin cup.

The process will move on with the obstructionists out of the way. The APA will not put up with any nonsense from those who refuse to recognize rulings, determinations and arbitrations.

Yep.  And I bet things will be looked at real close by the APA as well to make sure the goons turn everything over to the APA (like 13 million).
It really is a great day for all American pilots and AWA pilots.  Of course, the AFOs are crying in their skirts over this, which makes it all the more enjoyable here.  No more goons able to terrorize the west like they've been doing all these years.  We are free, my fellow west pilots.   Let us all continue to press onward to implement the work of Mr. George Nicolau. 
God bless the APA

They claim to represent me or any West pilot anymore. Now we can move forward. If they want to stay behind with their bottom lip out sulking, fine with me.
 

 

[prechilill]

I give it 12 months and we will have a joint contract, joint SLI and I will be bidding my Nicolau seniority.  99% sure of it.
 
TR just got quite a bit more junior today... LOL 
 
Phone call in to dad
