I've been a Teamster pilot before. They will solve nothing for you.

AWA320,
I believe the best option is to negotiate...
I just heard from an ALPA EVP could be negotiated between the parties...
Then the two sides could cut a deal...

AWA320,
In addition, your MEC needs to figure out what to do when the US Airways pilots leave ALPA becaue the East pilots may try to force a new union on the West pilots, which will likely be the Teamsters.
Furthermore, the last time your pilot group negotiated a contract it took about 4 years past the amendable date to get a new deal.
I believe the best option is to negotiate a fence where the East and West pilots keep their pre-merger flying, which I just heard from an ALPA EVP could be negotiated between the parties with ALPA International's help.
Then the two sides could cut a deal on shared growth and shared Section 1 scope protections.

Prechilill,
I believe there is a deal out there where the AWA pilots keep their present flying for a period of lets say 15-20 years with a fence, shared growth on widebody's and EMB-190s, shared scope protections, and keep the Nicolau Award in place.
If not then let the turmoil begin and accelerate with passion.
Those are the only two options!

You have to remember - all that matters to him is that no West pilot ever be in front of him. If he could get that "little" exception, he'd begin extolling the virtues of the award.The permutations are endless with what you propose...

He even came up with a hairbrained scheme to keep the few HP pilots behind him that had greater longevity than he. Pitched it as "better than DOH" for the West pilots.....

Why on earth would America West Pilots consider a 15-20 year fence?
They played the game by the rules. So did the East Pilots.
The arbitrator has ruled. It is highly unlikely that ALPA will overturn the award.
These are the facts. This is the reality.
So lemme see if I've got it straight: to achieve unity the AWA pilots must agree that the Nicolau Award was preposperous and give in to whatever demands will appease the USAirways pilots. Do I have it right?
