Hmm...So what's the latest trend to be? Has it now gone from merely "This is Sparta!" to a later historical venue of "I'm Spartacus!"? 😉

Yes indeed, and one can only even try to imagine how much your unity has soothed and served management's purposes so very well. I can easilly understand your AWAsome and enormous pride in your "accomplishments" to date alone:
 
Res Judicata: Right. "Everyday you hate your new, bottom of the barrel contract, just remember that it is the personal price you'll be paying to provide the West's the Seat at the table. If the West didn't want you scabs and your fake union gone, this MOU wouldn't have passed. The West got what they wanted, and you got LOA93 v2.0.... "...stewing in your garbage contract that was shoved down your throat by a consumately unified west pilot group."
 
I have no doubt whatsoever that all at APA are equally, properly and as mightily impressed as I am with your vaunted unity, especially about the "garbage contract that was shoved down your throat by a consumately unified west pilot group."   While "you'se" group are a far less dramatic (and actually, purely laughable) version of the below, well one thing always, however sadly, holds true: "And the useful idiocy lives on." Not to mention the much more tragically correct, universal observation that one "Just can't fix Stupid"......

I'm also every other West poster on this forum I was wondering about you and Luv. Is there something special going on between you two?

 
"I'm also every other West poster on this forum"..? In fairness; I'd previously wondered how many of your presumed contemporaries could individually even walk upright, but...Well then, perhaps I must rethink things a bit on previously displayed individual "intelligence", and instead of offering purely piecemeal aspersions, now congratulate you on personally perhaps boasting an impressively now-aggregate IQ that might even exceed average room temperatures.
 
Back to your question's intent though: Is there something "special" going on between these, putting it rather kindly, umm..."strange" people below that could begin to explain their bizarre behavior?....Or must I simply continue to log them as properly clinical examples of arrested development without further frills? Were you there with your "wizard's wand" proudly in hand as well?

P.S. In all fairness to your proud AWA heritage and "you'se" umm "spartans" and your "army"...at least there were no purple tutus evidenced in the above...that time, anyway...but perhaps that's from some restriction that prohibits common "soldiers" from sporting them, in that such elegant attire's permitted only for AWA's "royalty"...? Why a properly AWA legacy plane's not yet been pointed in the below theme remains a mystery:

He kept the NIC off this property and is doing just fine owning numerous planet fitness up here in NH. Stay away in your cave in PHX

Why does he work over USAPA if he's doing fine?

Former pilot union president sues over vacation time

By Ely Portillo

Posted: Tuesday, May. 27, 2014
The former president of the Charlotte-based union that represents US Airways pilots filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the union, claiming he was unfairly cheated out of payment for almost 100 unused vacation days he accrued.
Michael Cleary, a pilot, headed the U.S. Airline Pilots Association from 2008 to 2012. He was a fierce opponent of US Airways and led a high-profile safety campaign in 2011 that the company claimed was in fact a secret work slowdown.
The union charged that US Airways was skirting safety requirements, but a federal judge in Charlotte sided with the company and issued an injunction ordering pilots to stop the slowdown.
In his lawsuit, Cleary claimed he worked seven days a week for the union for most of his four-year term and took only seven paid days off during that time. He worked on those seven days he took off as well, Cleary said.
Mike routinely worked seven days a week. He had no choice because there was work to be done and, in the beginning, few employees to do it, wrote Clearys attorney, Josh Van Kampen. Weekends off were nonexistent, and Mike had virtually no chance to use the vacation he was accruing.
A spokesman for USAPA said the union hadnt received a copy of Clearys lawsuit Tuesday and had no comment.
When Cleary left USAPA in 2012, he said in his lawsuit that he was paid for only 21 days of vacation time, not the nearly 100 days he had accrued. According to the lawsuit, the unions treasurer had assured Cleary that he would receive payment for all of his accrued vacation time.
Although Cleary was a pilot for US Airways at the same time he served as USAPAs president, he only flew the bare minimum necessary to maintain certification. The union paid Cleary all of his wages and benefits, according to the lawsuit. Van Kampen declined to say exactly how much money Cleary is seeking from USAPA.
The union is in the early stages of integrating with the Allied Pilots Association, which represents American Airlines pilots, after that companys merger with US Airways in December. For years, USAPA has been bitterly divided over pilot seniority stemming from the 2005 merger of America West and US Airways.
Integrating the pilot work groups seamlessly is seen as an important step for the American-US Airways merger to succeed.

I guess there are a lot of Mike Cleary's. It couldn't be him. He could not be working those long hours at the union, could he?

He seems to be a busy guy. It makes me wonder how he has time for Luv.

He is the only president any pilot group ever had in the last 25 years that was a natural born fighter.   We'll never see another one before we retire.  Shame.   😉
 
Just the fact you will never forget the ass kicking he gave Marty and Ferggie... That says it all.

One way to stay unified , never take your extension , the way these trips are built if you are 45 minutes late , you usually are over your duty day without the extension.Just say NO !

I'm everyone of these people too. This is unity 😉 http://www.cactuspilotcontributors.com/contributors.html

Lemmings have unity too....

 

[FWAAA]

When the east committee hands over its list and repeats endlessly that "Date of Hire is the only acceptable result,"  and the west committee hands over its list and says "No list that fails to incorporate the NIC list will be acceptable," then here's a snapshot of a couple of the members of the APA committee and the arbitration panel:

Lemmings have unity too....

I've seen them, they wore yellow lanyards promoting USAPA. Now, most of them run from the label..Usapians.

Speaking of lemmings...From another board and from an American pilot:  "Half of the East will be gone by 2020 and the West (PHX) is likely to be the highest yes voting domicile percentage wise to ensure we are screwed in perpetuity.

You can forget about any changes in 2020 as it will simply be Groundhog Day for us. The West will come through for their pal Parker. Thankfully, APA was smart enough to take Parker out of the SLI portion of the MOU or the Nic would be a certainty as a reward for selling the rest of us out on the JCBA portion."

Anyone needing a refresher course on just how much your pathetic little tribe of "useful idiots" mindlessly both support and even worship management to the fullest detriment of even your own positions need only view the following: (and that's only assuming the recently expressed west insanity fails to sufficiently serve)  Res Judicata:"Everyday you hate your new, bottom of the barrel contract, just remember that it is the personal price you'll be paying to provide the West's the Seat at the table. If the West didn't want you scabs and your fake union gone, this MOU wouldn't have passed. The West got what they wanted, and you got LOA93 v2.0...."  I still can't get over just how amazingly moronic it is for any who also "got LOA93 v2.0" to actually be bragging about it, as if themselves somehow exempt, but then hey..."this is sparta", right? 😉 Prior to viewing the following demonstration of west pilots not only eagerly licking management's shoe soles in their well-practiced way, but even actively cheering for an injunction against the entire pilot group, (unfortunately for the rest of us) including themselves of course, well...let us all take a moment to admire, respect and appreciate the west's unendingly noble efforts on behalf of all their "fellow pilots", especially their latest brilliance: "The beauty is......stewing in your garbage contract that was shoved down your throat by a consumately unified west pilot group."
