2015 Pilot Discussion.

"It’s time to take a good look in the rear-view mirror. If we had a single contract in place, the NIC would also be in place. Sure, we would probably still have USAPA. But long before the East removed ALPA, we would have been operating under a single contract, with the Nicolau seniority list in place. Next time you go to a training center brown bag lunch, before you go after the company and the East, keep in mind how close we were to a TA prior to the NIC. We did it to ourselves, guys."

Dave Blomgren, for the U-Turn

NEXT U-Turn: More details on what we lost and how we lost it.







"WE DID THIS TO OURSELVES GUYS".................................that's the money line!

The Leonidas group has completely destroyed the West pilots careers. Bid after bid rolls through with more and more East movement. Look at the ++ on the PHL 330 captain side. All leaving soon. Incredible movement coming. The West is guaranteed to miss those spots now.
The Leonidas Tie is a Scarlet Letter. It means you are stuck in PHX and paid for it.

Thank you, Black Swan, for pointing that out. It means less than a year left for those captains, I believe.

Just got back and saw the bid, not to bad and we have quite a few retirements coming up I see.

East pilots inheriting their own attrition.  The Westies brought two loser hubs.  One is gone and one is destined to become RJ City.  They fly East routes because their own have disappeared.  More proof that Nicolau was a doddering old fool.
 
Btw, where has Res gone?

Probably to take another polygraph.

You have to give credit to the former PHX rep CB53 for all his lies to the membership about "final and binding".............pure greed on their part.........Wye River, they had a chance and blew it.

You are confusing inheriting with scabbing the gains of the prior merger.  If you had only what you brought to the prior merger, you would still be 600 deep in furloughs.  The scab union undercut wages in order to maintain separate ops.  Good gig if you like being the paid less than a West 757 Captain to fly the 330.
 
Oh, and those retirees lost $1/2 million each, 170 days of vacation and it still ends up being the Nic in the end with the A350 coming.

The tie means you do not take any bs from a scab union.
 
Time to go pay the epsic...they got their hand out begging, and all they are gonna get you is the Nic.

Yup.  One-third of us, the PHL A330 captains, gone in a year.
