Federal Court Grants US Airways' Request For an Expedited Hearing On A Preliminary Injunction Agains

[aquagreen73s]

USAPA counsel went after Lee and his use of regression analysis. Counsel ass was handed to him by Lee.

No surprise.

Hogg said relations between ALPA safety committee and company were cordial. ALPA did not try and politicize safety.
   
  Hogg said relations went downhill after Safety Operational Audit one year after merger. Many feedback forms contained profanity.
   
  Company and FAA determined they were "not valid". Things got worse after USAPA changed feedback form address from USAirways to USAPA.
   
  That's mostly why company declined to participate in Dr. Von Thaden's survey. Kubic really turned up the heat on the job action after that.
   
  USAPA tried to make the point Hogg pushes airplanes in an usafe manner to double his salary with bonuses.
   
 USAPA spent a good deal of time on the "fuel school" fiasco and the first USAToday ad. Hogg said it was only 6 or 7 out of 4,000 pilots.
 

All it takes is to shoot one deserter to make the point. Same for fuel school. Intimidation. Same as eastern computer school lateness. If you are asking me, if this judge is a local, he knows the story on the airline. It is well known it was bad, and got worse with Franke admin. It always had a bad rep starting with the Piedmont dismantling. Piedmont should have run it, would have exceeded SWA. I say the judge lectures about job actions at the worst and tells the groups to resolve their issues. Nothing will be resolved

I say he slaps a TRO on USAPA by Monday.

I say he slaps a TRO on USAPA by Monday.

Why would it be temporary? Isn't today the full hearing for injunctive relief?

You said that last Friday. Just like the western Sparta idiot. I say the judge is fully aware Franke Air cannot keep their noses clean with FAA maintenance issues. Parker has a history of problems with this. At least the eastern division finally stopped them.The western disciples were raised in this culture of FAA problems. Franke Air taught them this is normal. This is why the eastern division finally stopped them. It is called push back and it is about time it happened. The eastern saw a pattern developing and fought it. More power to them.

Maybe he was aware of this? Perhaps he realizes the same Franke Air staff is at the helm.......




America West planes will be grounded unless the airline proves within a week that it has completed maintenance on a quarter of its fleet, federal regulators said Friday.

It was the second time this year in which the nation’s ninth-largest carrier faced disciplinary action over maintenance issues. The Federal Aviation Administration threatened in January to bar the suburban Tempe-based airline from acquiring additional planes until it provided adequate maintenance for the ones it had.

This time, David Gillom of the FAA told the airline by letter that, based on an audit and review, “we have serious concerns about American West’s continuous airworthiness maintenance program.”

Any news about today's hearing yet?

 

[SS255]

A name change would have gone a long way in getting people in the east to accept change and let go of the past. Along with not offering an aggresive retirment package package are the biggest merger related mistakes and missed oppertunties IMHO.

Yeh, maybe if the America West name had survived, people wouldn't still be referring to the airline as US Air.

Any news about today's hearing yet?

Only a few bits and pieces. But even with that little has been stated, USAPA's illegal job actions seem to be headed for something like this:

But in all seriousness, USAPA's outlook it not nearly as bad as this:

My bad. Meant to say injunction.

 

[Move2CLT]

Ok. Time to ignore Claxon.

Dude, that was what, ten years ago. Most of the senior people that were there are gone. When the merger took place why do you think they kept Al Crellin for a year or two? Certainly not for his boyish charm and good looks. They kept him because he had an extremely good relationship with the FAA and the old America West had the stench of Bill Franke's legacy fresh in the FAA's mind. Crellin made nice, got the relationship with the FAA back on track, did his thing with the single operating certificate and was politely shown the door.

You keep pounding on Franke Air, Franke Air, Franke Air!! Well Franke Air is as dead as Paris Hilton's brain. That ship sailed when the merger took place and before. Franke Air in reality ceased to exist the day Andrew Nocella initiated the new price structure that pissed CO off to the point where they dropped HP as a code share. All of this is ancient history in terms of what's happening now.

Dude same guy is running the place. Franke trained him. There is a direct correlation between Franke Air and Parker and all the problems of today. Read the rest. Parker is directly associated.

T E M P E, Ariz., Dec. 8
America West Airlines officials are denying reports in an upcoming issue of U.S. News and World Report suggesting that the airline is in danger of being grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Company President Doug Parker says America West is working closely with the FAA to resolve operational problems identified this summer.


Parker says the FAA has assured him it’s happy with the airline’s progress, and he denies there are any safety issues at America West.

Ok. Time to ignore Claxon.
