Or, to put it another way, be careful what you wish for - you may get it only to find out it's a lot worse than what you had.......<snip>
Jim, Exactly. Now that the true ugly nature of these guys (burning down the house, etc. etc. etc.) is out in the open for all to see, there isn't an airline in the world that would touch this group with a ten foot poll.I've seen a lot of bravado and threats of this or that action thrown around in the last few days. Every one has the potential of far more harm to the East pilots than anything they perceive they lost in this arbitration.

..."it is ALPA’s duty to defend the award, and not to evaluate its fairness."
Obviously Vasin doesn't think it is fair either...
"IF" 70 % of profits for the company is in the EAST ops--with our pilot contract cost advantage----just operate separately and forget those junior pukes.
Actually that is not the process. What you describe is what the East pilots are making of it because of their perceived unfair treatment and what they THINK they are entitled to.or some sort of arbitrary, political, nosebreaking, threatmaking third world scheme.

Ya, sure, that's it. You got Mitch pegged.
Now shut up.
What you're saying is that DOH is the best way to do things even if it royally screws one pilot group. ALPA Merger Policy doesn't prohibit DOH, in fact, if Nicolau had felt DOH was fair that's exactly what he would've awarded!However, its difficult to see any alternative other than DOH to resolving airline mergers.
I am not, nor have I ever been an airline employee and as far as LCC, I don't even fly them anymore.
However, its difficult to see any alternative other than DOH to resolving airline mergers. There are no other unbiased options for the simple fact that labor has never taken upon itself to implement a meritocracy in which quality measures (think baseball player stats) are generated for each employee. Until that happens, its DOH or some sort of arbitrary, political, nosebreaking, threatmaking third world scheme.
