Perhaps George Nicolau got it wrong? Heaven forbid! After all, he allowed UAL " neutrals" to formulate his data. The same neutrals who had been in merger talks with USAirways east twice before. And knew another push for merger was coming throughout the industry.

Please forgo the smiley faces and puppets usually submitted for data and proof.

"The way we read the above is that since the Nicolau seniority list isn’t enforceable on the company"

Piss off!

 
Oh, another quick, witty, biting retort.  Did you think that up yourself, or did you have to get coaching from your 4-year-old granddaughter?

Although Phoenix has large population density, and a high-volume of O&D traffic, it is a low-yielding hub. US Airways can sustain it at present since the airline follows an extremely lean/low-cost model, but once it merges with American, the combined carrier will see its cost base rise. With a more bloated structure, the airline will be unable to support the same level of nonstops and frequencies out of its PHX hub without raising fares, which will result in hefty turnover to lower-priced options on other carriers such as Southwest (the #2 airline in Phoenix) and the airline will fall out of favor among locals. In a best-case scenario, Phoenix will be shrunk to serve 50 or so cities at max, with a few key Canadian, Mexican and Hawaiian markets retained.

 
IOW....LAS redux.

Scotty is spot on!






“In the US Airways – America West case, it went to binding arbitration but there was a requirement as part of that that the two unions negotiate a joint contract with the company, which wasn’t done yet.

And because it wasn’t done yet, the side that didn’t like it could prevent a joint contract from getting done. And because of that, the seniority integration never happened."

Your 4-year-old granddaughter speaks French?  Pretty smart kid.  Must not take after her grandfather, huh?

Get over it boy, the APA has plans for you scabs.




I can't wait till you file a lawsuit against the APA.

Piss off!

I can understand you hating the message but you don't have to hate the messenger!

And I'm so glad you love those ties so well, you will be removing them shortly. Remember the post you made recently about the tie...... "And there's nothing you can do about it"
You really crack me up!

I'm glad you're amused.

The message is incorrect. Most likely another one of your side's lame attempts to stop the funding of Leonidas. There is nothing in our read files concerning the Liberty ties. Therefore, I'm going to continue wearing the tie.

Let's say that the company says the Liberty tie can't be worn, it won't make a difference, because most are on the Push for Justice automatic draft.

There's nothing you can do about that or the Leonidas titanium ring I wear on my middle finger in honor of Usapians like yourself.

Titanium? Pfft. Let us know when you upgrade to platinum with diamonds.

Titanium? Pfft. Let us know when you upgrade to platinum with diamonds.

Let me know how you are going to buy diamonds if you are one of the defendants in our lawsuit. Step 1, a hearing to get a preliminary injunction to freeze USAPA funds. You'll be selling your wife's diamonds to fund your defense. No injunction, no problem, there is more than one way to skin an Usapian.

Why sue the APA when USAPA is in our sights? I understand that some of the rats may be jumping ship.

This is going to be fun to watch.
