That flyertalk article is an eye opener:

American Threatens Hub Abandonment if Charlotte Fails to Award Tax Breaks

"Nikolai? Yep (can't spell)"
 
 
 

Too funny! Yeah, I tried to edit but it was too late. It just shows you how much the award from that octogenarian came up with affected me. I never think about it much.
 
Of course, now I would have to remember how to spell three names for the arbitrators on an ALPA SLI because that historically detrimental award has altered the way that seniority integration is accomplished with that union that gave away our contract, our retirement and left us with LOA 93. Adios, puta. 
 
Nikolai is not a misspelling, per se, but an alteration that Googled up. Nicolau is just a Portuguese or Catalan variation of the East Slavic Nikolai.  But, again, it has never affected me.

You dumb-a**.
 
Freighter said PROFITABLE hubs.  Said nothing about largest.  Said nothing about busiest.  Said nothing about population centers.
 
I hope you're insured for long term assisted living.

The edit feature is a limited time offer.
I was thinking that Nicolau was Romanian. Maybe he's one of KV's distant cousins from the former Soviet bloc?

I know what freighterguyagain said, Homer. If I need your assistance, I'll let you know. It's no surprise that those who chose to remain under bankruptcy wages would equate to higher profits for the company. USAPA played right into the company's hands and they were more than happy for you to remain under the bankruptcy era contract.

Who is the dumba$$?

 

[luvthe9]

Goodbye USAPA, hello APA.

Don't forget, Goodbye NIC, goodbye AOL.

 

[luvthe9]

Who is the dumba$$?

.

That would have to be anybody who would pay 675 dollars for a tie. So that would be you and your little AFO club.


Sorry you did not take the NIC when offered, Geez you guys are so stupid.

 

[luvthe9]

All the little scabs are upset now, oh well remember NIC or nothing at WYE RIVER, thought so.

Here comes the LOA 93 story again. Everyone knows america west pilots were THE bottom dwellers for decades.
Now, which pilot group working for a LEGACY AIRLINE with WIDEBODY airplanes cannot fly them? And, which group has a serious chance of getting locked out of them for years? west pilots are pretty much locked to A 320 rates, save for a few, for years. Which pilot group voluntarily declined a deal which would have allowed them most 330 seat upgrades for the last two years? You got it. The group which hitched their future to a 2004 hire named Eric Ferguson........

That tie is a clear identifier of pilots working for a LEGACY AIRLINE and locked off widebodies.

Neither exist now.

 

[Claxon]

west, are American Pilots giving you the offer you can not refuse yet?

 

[Metroyet]

You're going to be stapled behind every single America West pilot when this is over. You ALREADY ARE Courtney. Nothing will change that. Goodnight.

Hey, idiot.
 
During that entire period, I earned more than you on a "bankruptcy" contract.  What exactly does that have to say about the westhole non-bankruptcy contract that earned you less flying the same 757s?
