They were too stupid to realize they took you into a corner, one with an exit. You took it, dumped the farcical ALPA who sponsored the farce and came out fighting. bravo. They are almost finished.

I think it's karma that has put us in this position. Due to the pilot SLI problems, our management has been able to manipulate the pilot wages for the last several years, putting them in a position to look like they are "the best". Now, they have the opportunity to run the world's largest airline......why? only because they have screwed their employees over the years.
So, here we are again, back in court. I have 4 yrs to go. I have accepted the fact that most likely, I will retire as an FO in the 330.....my bid was effective this month. I have no interest in an A320 Cpt bid in PHX...it's not worth the headache. Also, the 330 rt seat, plus PBGC money is good enough for me.
However, what happens if the NIC is forced upon us? Chances are, I will be pushed off the 330 by greedy West pilots. Again, Vaseline or no?....I choose NO!

The MOU 330 F/O pay rate looks good with or without the PBGC money.
Yes they do....almost as good as the F100 Cpt rate I used to make, what 13 yrs ago. I believe with all my soul that after serving 27 yrs at this company, I deserve to retire at that rate instead of some West pilot with 12 yrs bumping me out of that lifestyle, as the sun sets on my career. And that is not even asking to screw somebody in PHX!!!!

I blow your theory out of the water and this is all you got? Like I said, clueless MF.

Someone's on edge today, sounds like the truth is starting to close in on you.
Five years on LOA 93 and nothing to show for it, no wonder you're upset.
You don't know what looks good - you thought that fat ugly singer was hot! Maybe daddy can find a girl for you.

You have a ratified agreement. You're screwed. As always, you did it to yourself.
Hey mister #20 f/o a320 in clt - I guess you are too scared to take a capt bid because most of the f/o's you would be flying with know of your disdain for their cause. You will have to take your upgrade in PHX because daddy is not here to keep you safe.
Are you related to Trader? You must be because you are both clueless.
This is a real nice one Dan, I think I will print it out and post it in the CLT crew room. Enjoy your legacy here.

USS
AMR
AOL
Federal Judges Lane, Silver, Wake, and the dissenting 9th opinion.
That's the "Clueless" side. The other side is simply:
USAPA.
Best of luck to you on the 14th.

We agreed to a process that was supposed to end up in a fair award. It didn't happen. The ALPA president said it didn't happen, right in the PHL crew room. That is, until he decided it was better politically for him to encourage us to take one for the team since contract time was coming up for he and his buddies. End of story.

The award was fundamentally the same as the one that preceeded it and the two that followed it.
It was fundamentally fair.
Prater's concern was losing East pilot's dues, not what was fair.
