USAPA's seniority proposal is worth about as much as a $3 bill with Cleary's picture on it. Do let us know when the Company accepts that fraudulent document as the replacement to the NIC arbitration award.
Come on clear, we need that growing Int'l stuff so we can offset the pay differential that you maintain. How is that damage? I would say UNdoing of damage. You need to look at it from both sides friend! I am sure the case could easily be made in that "damages" trial that is coming.
The pay differential is a result of the LOA93 contract terms the East pilots voted for. There is no one to blame for the pay differential other than the East pilots and the union they formed to support their interests. If the East pilots want a better contract they need to give up on trying to avoid the NIC and start negotiating in good faith. How can there be any claim to damages when the Kirby proposal was never even sent to membership for ratification? Management has maintained that that proposal has always been on the table and, if ratified, would have brought pay parity to the pilots. A Kirby TA with the NIC would have been a much greater benefit to the East than to the West, but they havent had any interest in attaining pay parity. Therefore, the only group East pilots can blame or claim damages against are East pilots and their own failed union USAPA. Of course the only ones who cant understand that are the East pilots. No judge or jury is going to see/award damages for a group who has a penchant for operating in such a way that only brings harm to themselves.
Actually I don't think so. The west supported pay parity up to the point that the east walked away from the table, from their agreement, and from the arbitrated award. At that point the east chose to shouldered responsibility for the pay differential. The east is not a victim of circumstance. Only a victim of their choices. There's enough proof on this forum alone that you are OK with lower pay rates and continued delay. (Separate ops forever, and all.) I'm pretty sure any judge or jury would see that. IMO it would be almost impossible to throw that back on the west, after doing everything in your power to avoid a raise. Basically that pay differential is the price the east is paying to ignore and endlessly dispute the arbitrated list.
Well hello Mr. Gloater! Got a quick question for ya: is US Airways taking delivery of new airplanes for those new routes? If so, I missed that announcement. Therefore, the planes flying those new routes must be at the expense of other routes, right?
And you coming from a airline model after PEOPLExpress
Once again slowly this time.
I know you save US with LAS PHX and SHARES your regional airline was on a roll. Google Seabury and Bruce Lakefield
Your post reeks of desperation.
When you're done reading the C & R's, might I suggest you read the Nicolau Award?
