Breeze votes yes. The pay looks good. As usual, there is always a hidden gem in Jerry Glass written documents, MOUs, grievance rejections. LOA s. Always. He is a master of crafting a document which will confound you, and arbitrators. He is a lawyer.
Here comes yours: Hummel has been dragging his heels on anything seniority based going into the MOU. He hasn't even passed a seniority list that I am aware of.
The minute the East pilots with the help of West pilots approve this MOU, here comes the injunction in PHX. Maybe Wake himself will get his biased hands on it. Leonidas makes the case for the seniority list being in contention, a valid claim now. Ask Cleardirect about that. He has extremely close ties to Ferguson.They pass their list across. This thing spins on for another few years in court. That, is the plan. This is why they keep the gloves off Hummel. He is doing EXACTLY what they want. Meanwhile, Gerry Glass and Parker sit back and claim the pay they promised you is in contention because of ongoing litigation. Litigation they contribute to in the past, and now the future.
I hope you get your raise Greeter and Breeze. I have seen this little operation and so have you. I just am amazed you are going to fall for it, again. I vote NO for any and all documents with Parker and Glass hands on them. Every time. I guess you think LOA 93 was written quickly around the time of bankruptcy. It actually was written long before that time. You are aware Gerrold Glass was and is in the employ of AMR and has involvement in their bankruptcy arent you? Amazing coincidence isn't it?
I guarantee you are going to be fooled by it. Just like a lot of you are fooled by DCA319. They rolled this Trojan Horse out the minute the MOU became active.
Pay attention, keep your eye on the prize. That is the AWAPPA mantra.
I have read Walmart Greeter say Parker had nothing to do with our pension. I ask him to Google this : Seabury Group USAirways pilots pension termination. They tried to do this AWA U deal over a year prior to the actual event. Read the big reason it was put off. That's right, your pension was THE obstacle. Bankruptcy 2. Took care of that very nicely. Enjoy your read.

Testimony continues in American's Section 1113 hearing
NEW YORK _ The American Airlines’ Section 1113 hearing continued today with union cross examination of an expert witness for the carrier and anticipation over testimony later today of a key American witness, Beverly Goulet, the chief restructuring officer in charge of the business plan to emerge from bankruptcy.
According to American spokesman Bruce Hicks, Goulet is central to the carrier’s case being made in bankruptcy court that its labor contracts be rescinded so that it can emerge as a viable stand-alone carrier.
She is also vice president of corporate development and treasurer.
Another central American witness, Jeff Brundage, senior vice president of human resources, is expected to testify Thursday but told reporters Monday evening that “it is pretty clear that this 1113 process is not something you win or lose.”
“It’s a way to reach consensual agreement,” Brundage said.
Under the bankruptcy rules of the Railway Labor Act, the carrier and unions must continue negotiating throughout the process, even if the judge agrees with American and abrogates the existing labor contracts.
In morning cross examination, Jerry Glass, president of F&H Solutions Group, a human resources and labor relations consulting company, told lawyers for American’s unions that he found that after comparing American’s labor costs to other carriers, based on pay, work rules and benefits, that “it’s easy to conclude their costs are going to be higher.”

Even before the second bankruptcy filing of 2004, one of the alternatives US Airways Group explored was a possible merger with America West, as the two airlines had complementary networks and similar labor costs. The parties held preliminary discussions and conducted due diligence from February through July 2004. Ultimately, these talks ended due to issues related to labor, pension, and benefit costs. By December 2004, US Airways had cut labor costs significantly. Its investment adviser, the Seabury Group, suggested putting the airline up for sale. The following month, US Airways Group and America West Holdings resumed their discussions. On May 19, 2005, both airlines officially announced the merger deal, structured as a reverse takeover. Financing for the deal was supplied by outside investors including Airbus S.A.S., an aircraft manufacturing subsidiary of EADS, the European aerospace consortium. Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation, operator of numerous US Airways Express flights, and ACE Aviation Holdings, the parent company of Air Canada, also bought shares in the combined airline. The merged airline retained the US Airways name to emphasize its national scope, as well as to capitalize on US Airways' worldwide recognition. On September 13, 2005, America West shareholders voted to approve the merger agreement, and three days later the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia approved US Airways' emergence from bankruptcy, allowing the merger to close on September 27.
