US Pilots Labor Discussion 8/11- STAY ON TOPIC AND OBSERVE THE RULES

[BoeingBoy]

For the USAPA fans I apologize for transposing the letters in "USAPA" - I didn't catch it until ames quoted it. I've corrected my typo.

Yeah, but Seeham will convinve the angry fo's otherwise. Keep those billable hours coming!

Of that I have no doubt.

We'll see.

PS: Either you took my advice on learning grammar or I am starting to think like you. I have actually understood your last two posts.

Sounds like you don't get it but thats okay, SEHAM will soon point it out! MM!

If Seeham (and USAPA) are so sure why fight the company's request for a judgement...

Could we have one more salvo.

Maybe you were more alike than you thought.

I believe you used that a few post ago, right?

Well Clear, you just can't bring yourself to admit you were wrong, huh? Kind of like Trader Jake. Separated at birth?

But, I thought you guys WANTED a reservation. Most of the early posts in objection to DOH centered around East guys, living out west bidding in to PHX and making West guys more junior or costing them a Captain bid. What's changed? Wasn't your point in wanting the Nic so badly, protecting what you brought to the party?

FYI.

There are only a handful of former PSA pilots and other East pilots remaining on the West coast that would have any interest in bidding into PHX. Many are happily flying the widebodies to Europe and Israel.

Which makes the latest CLT update seem misguided at best.

And while we're on the subject, the recent CLT and PHL updates leave no doubt that USAPA is being run by the old "RC4" mentality from the ALPA days. While I have no desire to return to the "Give Away Gang" mindset, it would be nice to see some balance around here. I believe that would have been the case had Doug M. been elected instead of Pope Michael the First.

I agree. I voted for Mowery, but that seems to be the kiss of death these days. NOTHING I vote for goes my way 😀 .

As for my post, I was being a little sarcastic. The West position originally was that PHX was going to be overrun with senior East pilots. I knew that would never be the case, but the C & Rs protected against that anyway. But today, the tune has changed and many the West pilots want to press every advantage given them in the Nic in East bases.


I guess PHX isn't what it used to be 😛 .

This will always be the case. Pilots, no matter where they live, always chase the $$$$$$ even to the detriment of quality of life.

I am sure Jacobs would turn down the opportunity to take more of the West cash. At least Seham delivered.

Explain how the use of "casual" language compares to improper grammar or the random spewing of words, as MM is likely to do. I couldn' think like that guy under any circumstances. My comment was purely sarcastic.

It's obvious that THEY don't get it.

I was at the first meeting of the two sides at the Sheraton Four Points in Phoenix. East MEC, Merger Committee, Negotiating Committee and many other committees. Dozens of easties, many with their wives, going all around Phoenix with realtors in tow. It was clear to me that they were excited about bidding PHX and planning their retirements. I believe there are many more than a handful anxious to take over PHX as soon as possible.

On the other hand, I look forward to bidding PHL and happily flying the widebodies to Europe and Israel when justice is finally served. Hey, at least I'm honest.

Thank you for your honesty Ames, you made my point from previous posts. I know of one East pilot that dumped his home in PHX... one less to worry about. Regarding those committee members, just goes to show you how completely stupid those people were.

BTW, justice is a point of view.

These were probably the same guys ordering 747 manuals when the big UAL merger was being considered.
There will always be that 10%....
