Indeed. It'd be amusing, but not even worth the effort to post his earlier supportive posts, from not long after the nic came out. Po' widdle baby didn't get to shorten his commute to PHX, and in doing so; kick some westie outta' the top spot. How truly tragic for the whole of western civilization...and what fine and noble basis upon which to change anyone's "moral" positions.

Date of Hire is Unity and Unity is Date of Hire.
And yes we do deserve to go to the top of the list. We paid for it with our pensions, work rules, vacation, sick leave, quality of life.
The Parker/Lakefield dream would never have been a possible without the sacrifices of the USAirways employees.
We bring lots of flying and lots of retirements to the merger. Who should benefit from the USAirways atrrition? Certainly the USAirways pilots, including the furloughees.

"I'm a First Officer who can't hold Captain at US. I'm 2000 out of 2700 active pilots. If it goes DOH I would be senior to all but the top 200 Captains at AWA.
That's a windfall."

When the airline began to shrink USAir and PSA F/O's who upgraded to Captain as a result of the merger remained Captains while Piedmont Captains were downgraded to First Officer. So yes, their jobs were taken from them.
That's why DOH is unfair.
The AWA 737 Captain who is a bolckholder should go ahead of the reserve US 737 Captain.
That's why slotted equipment ratio is probably the fairest system."

"Hopefully, you are not an ALPA Merger Committee or other representative of USAirways ALPA.
Please explain to me what is immoral or unethical about applying DOH? It has been the standard at every merger from Allegheny-Mohawk-Lake Central-PSA-Piedmont. Glaring exception; The Shuttle pilots were slotted. There weren't that many and most have or will soon be retired, hence the slotting."
Uh Huh:

Explain it to us now 924BS: What IS "immoral or unethical about applying DOH?"
The reason that USAPA exists is because the majority of pilots were not going to follow the direction of other pilots from other airlines who thought the VALUE of East pilots were LESS than the value of themselves. We still have the same problem and even Harper says that the majority of West pilots don't speak for the class with their vote. Sounds like fascism (spell checked before posting) to everyone else but AwFOL.
That is a picture of my twin brother. I thought the word on that cap said DANCE and I went to the disco instead. Go figure...!
Glad to help!
Again, ALPA East MEC, ALPA West MEC and ALPA national CANNOT LEGALLY BIND the pilot group without a LEGALLY BINDING JCBA that had to be ratified by BOTH East and West pilots separately. That is an inconvenient truth for you guys, but it is a truth none the less. If you are ever represented in court of any kind, your lawyer(lier, ha ha) can not bind you without your consent (unless you are a minor and the court appoints you a Guardian ad litum or you are legally incompetent which in any case requires a hearing, findings of fact and conclusions of law. THEN you are assigned a lawyer that can sign documents and make decisions without you on your behalf) . A labor union is vested with the same power per the Supreme Court. But only the Rank and File can bind the group with a majority vote.
