Let's see here, where do I begin?
______________________________
From Nicolau's opinion:
The US Airways Proposal
"The US Airways initial proposal was grounded on a pilot's Date of
Hire adjusted for Length of Service. That proposal placed the most
senior America West pilot below some 900 US Airways pilots and
integrated a number of furloughed US Airways pilots with active
America West pilots. This was justified, according to the US Airways
representatives, by the much greater length of service (LOS) of US
Airways pilots..."
______________________________
From the West's Merger Committee Report:
"First, the Award rejects the East Committee’s strongly advanced assertion that
date of hire or length of service should control the list integration process.
Second, the Award adopts the position that the West Committee consistently
advanced from the beginning of the hearings; namely that furloughed East pilots should
be placed below all West pilots on the seniority list. The East position (DOH adjusted by
LOS), had it been adopted, would have placed nearly two thousand furloughed East pilots ahead of Dave Odell (our junior pilot) and many other West pilots."
______________________________
A petition by a group of your own pilots. That website is still up:
"By signing this petition I am directing the AAA MEC Chairmen,MEC membership and Merger Committee Members to accept nothing less than Date of Hire with fences during any and all discussions relating in any way to the merger between US Airways (AAA) and America West (AWA). The purpose of this petition is to demand the AAA MEC proceed toward an agreement between the Master Executive Councils of US Airways and America West that INCLUDES NOTHING LESS than Date of Hire with Fences. I consider anything other than Date of Hire with fences to be unfair, unjust and a failure of the MEC in their duty to fairly represent the membership."
______________________________
And just as an aside; your MC mentioned that DOH was not a guarantee under ALPA Merger Policy. Your MC broached the topic only once because of the blowback they got on that and they never brought it up again.
I also think there is a resolution on file in your MEC dictating the MC to seek nothing less than DOH. You can call your MEC office and ask for a copy.
So please. Spare me the "we didn't even want DOH" BS. You did and got burned.
Oh ya. I was happy to see that all in not lost over there. This is a pilot from YOUR webboards responding to one of his own:
"Is he suppose to give you his job because we worked for a stagnant, poorly run company? We did this to ourselves because we based our argument on something that was never going to happen. DOH violated 4 of the 5 goals of the merger policy."
Good to see some of you guys get it.
