2015 Pilot Discussion.

Of course!! That fully explains the absolute conniption fit USCABA has been throwing to PREVENT the West MC. You failed. Nic + on the way.

Let's hope for your cause it comes at the same speed as Nic 1

Hello boys and girls.....friends and foes,
 
I hope you are all doing well.
 
Just to let you know, since my JS episode a few months ago, I have ridden many JS's, many West crews, and have had zero problems....most were very gracious and treated me like any other co-worker. Not anything like the threats that I received on this board. Apparently, the guys like DM are very much in the minority.....angry FO club.
 
I hope all of you are doing well, East or West....and hopefully the end of this BS is near. Good luck to us all.
 
I am out of here in a little over 2 yrs, so the SLI will have minimal effect on me at this point, thanks to stand of the East pilots took to do what was right.
 
Take care,
breeze

Great!  Enjoy your pending retirement...with no Pension, a greatly diminished defined contribution and 5 extra years of LOA93.

Seems there's at least a slight difference in world views and lifetime philosophy to be seen here...Hmm...I wonder which perspective best makes for the happier life?

His ride is a 330. He is making a greater hourly wage than any west f/o's. All of them.
Check them out in PHL when you coast by in your burned out 319............

Eric convinced them of a different " plan"
The one that made Marty millions.

East pilots get the PBGC guarantee.
 
West pilots....not so much.
 
Why?  The east pilots actually had a Defined Benefit plan to lose.  The westicles, with their perennial gutter contracts and permanent "also ran" airline, never had the balls to actually negotiate a Defined Benefit plan.
 
So, the East gets the insurance guarantee, the west gets the gutter....again....or, still.

Ah, a Wesstie that "gets it."
 
That separate seat at the SLI only serves to separate the westicles from any claim to bring wide-bodies and meaningful growth to the table.  USAPA would have been obligated to count them as "USAirways pilots," along with everything that goes with it.  Now, the USAPA MC can bring the goods for the benefit of East pilots only, since the westicles have been severed by the actions of the APA (in demanding the arbitration) with full backing of the clueless westicles.  They actually let the APA take away any claim they have to anything of value that USAirways pilots were bringing to the table.
 
Priceless!

The quintessential summary post, of the plight of the former america west pilots to date.
 
Excellent.

USAPA: "Embarrassing the Piloting Profession, one Disaster at a time"

Quintessential mantra and vitriol post from a west pilot.
 
west pilots were the lowest paid pilots in the industry since their inception, early1980's.
 
west pilots have no retirement, east pilots have, on average, a pbgc pension of 35,000 a year until they or their spouse enter the "happy hunting ground." 
 
west pilots contacted doug parker many times accusing East pilots of slowing down.
 
loa 93 mantra?  west pilots, new hires on East are captains and wide body f/o's.
 
 
The history of the west pilots will be trying jump seniority of 17 years of other pilots.
 
Wear your 675 dollar tie?  You have to want a second chance attempt at a professional pilot legacy. 
 
Embarrassing the pilot profession west pilot?  Your attempt at redirecting history and yelling fire in a theater is a sad attempt.

Ah yes, the wise guy with all the answers. Obviously you haven't taken a look at my DC plan lately. I made a nice profit on the AA bankruptcy stock.....of course, you guys didn't have that option.
 
Don't worry son, I will be fine.
 
And for the rest of the guys, East or West.....honestly, I hope the best for you all.

And you can't forget that AWA was the last resort and hope for any pilot, it's where you went after you have been rejected by every other carrier.

Wow. One sentence of unequivocal truth from Metroyet and the Usual Scab Suspects have a hissy fit. Truth hurts, idiots. You may want to stop congratulating yourselves being that your quest to keep the West out of SLI failed miserably. The West is loaded for Bear and the East is loaded with the same whiny drivel about being owed something. Here's what you're owed...FK You. HA!!!
 
You guys are going to be slaughtered in this SLI.
