Feb / Mar 2013 US Pilots Labor Discussion

[Phoenix]

I demand you put "duh" back as your tagline. It is now a fixture on this forum. I cannot live without it. I might hire Marty to sue you.

"duh" is copyrighted!

And Marty has already contacted me... promised to help me sue any West pilot that tries to start using it... I asked him if he thought that would be a conflict of interest. Seems he didn't think about that... and then he cursed himself, saying it wasn't the first mistake he made this week.

I smell an Injunction followed closely by Checkmate. The USCABA crime spree is ending soon.

I smell another miscalculation Kevin.

Injunction on what? There is no POR yet. I think the merger is a sure thing, but it ain't legal yet. Not a done deal in the eyes of the government, courts, or even business world.

No pay raises, no new vacation, nada. Status quo until this Fall at the earliest. We are still parked by NMB, and still under the previous injunction in NC.

Nobody is presenting or negotiating anything right now, other than AOL and Marty on a reasonable payment plan.

More premature adjudication? I see a trend.

I think we are getting your head, Phoenix. It's looking like St Nic visited that tag line of yours.

DUH

Things happen pretty quick.

Better check the legal docs.

BTW. If Marty is wiling to do the work and trusts the west will pay. Why would you worry about him getting paid? It is not your problem. Living with the Nicolau will be your problem.

Yes, the tag line is a parody of a St. Nic supporter calling you to donate.

Your use of "DUH" is a violation for being too similar to "DOH", but you are forgiven.. if you donate again to the "friends list".

Try thinking about baseball.

You would be hard pressed to invent someone who does more harm to the things he pretends to support.

I don't agree with everything he says or his style but you'd be hard pressed to find someone who draws more attention to the things he supports.

Nice return

Having a lot of friends in Phoenix, I'm glad you did not "copyright" your screen name.

Marty is mocking mere taxpayers who work for a living and are unwillingly subjected to his abuse of the legal system.

Case 2:13-cv-00471-PGR Document 14 Filed 03/26/13
Excerpt:

103. In August 2007, West Pilots formed Leonidas, LLC, for the sole purpose of collecting voluntary West Pilot contributions to be used to defray the expense of defending the Nicolau Award in and out of litigation.111​

104. On March 6, 2013, USAPA filed an adversary proceeding against Leonidas, LLC, (not these Plaintiffs or the West Pilot Class) in the AMR Chapter 11 proceedings in a flawed effort to deter the West Pilots from taking action here to compel USAPA to adhere to its duty.112​

105. USAPA claims that Leonidas, LLC, is threatening litigation.113​

106. Leonidas, LLC, has never been a party to litigation.114​

107. Leonidas, LLC, has never sent a letter to USAPA, US Airways, APA, or their counsel.115​

108. Leonidas, LLC, has never threatened to instigate any litigation itself.116​

109. The Bankruptcy Court has scheduled a telephonic “CourtCall Telephonic Appearance” hearing for April 3, 2013, at 11:00 AM, to determine whether it is necessary for Leonidas, LLC, to file a motion to dismiss the adversary proceeding.1172840719.11​

110. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 23, 2013, in New York. 118​

111. APA, the union that will represent the US Airways pilots after the merger, recently stated that it “takes no position on the merits of the dispute between the former East and former West pilots” but “has no wish to inherit this dispute in the event of a merger and will push to have it resolved.”119​

112. The MOU provides that any disputes over interpretation of its provisions shall be resolved by expedited arbitration between the parties. 120​

113. The MOU provides that the first step in pilot seniority integration will be to make a “Protocol Agreement [that] will set forth the process and protocol for conducting negotiations and arbitration, if applicable, and will include a methodology for allocating the reimbursement provided for in Paragraph 7.”121​

114. The MOU provides that a total sum of $5.5 million will be available to defray the expenses incurred by pilot merger representatives and unions.122​

118 Id. at ¶ 14 [App. 423].​

Marty is mocking mere taxpayers who work for a living and are unwillingly subjected to his abuse of the legal system.

It east pilots would have lived up to your obligations none of this court proceedings would be required.

So it is east pilots and usapa that is subjecting the court system to abuse.

We also see that ause in the RICO suit and the American BK filing.
