NIC with C&R's.
Absolutely laughable. This is how twisted and perverted the east thinking is. So after you shrunk and went bankrupt twice, any additional flying up until the point you reach the same number of pilots you had before the bloodletting is not considered growth?????!!!! Talk about Fantasy Island. Hey Boss, is your real name Tatoo? So now we have a new catchphrase... "recaptured flying." You really do have delusions of grandeur!
Might want to check your own facts.
And what is the term of those conditions? One year? Five? Infinity? Or just until the next contract when seniority can be renegotiated like a crew meal? What about when that flying is moved to the east as the company sees fit in order to operate their airline in the most efficient manner? Do those protections carry through to the east? As BB points out, when a west captain retires his 757 spot and creates a new vacancy in a 737 left seat, is that new vacancy protected and only allowed to be given to a west pilot?
Obviously you haven't gotten a life yet. Pretty sad supposedly flying to all those great international destinations, then scurrying off to your darkened room to obsess about another airline and its' pilots while the rest of the crew is probably out on the town. Pretty sad.....Absolutely laughable. This is how twisted and perverted the east thinking is.

Hate to burst your bubble, but any flying that came to the east after AWA came along and saved your sorry butt from Chapter 7 is considered growth. Same goes for the west. (oh wait, the west was already growing when they absorbed the east.)
I would love to know what the CO pilots think of your ideas. Are you suggesting that until UA adds back the additional 4000 pilots we had before 9/11, noting is considered growth? We had about 10,500 pilots back then. Guess what? Now with the merger we have about 10,500 pilots again (not including furloughs.) Should CO be stapled? No growth for them until each and every UA pilot is back on the property? Ask them what they think of DOH. Maybe you think that over 2200 of our pilots, including over 1000 who are now furloughed, should be senior to their 737 and 757 captains?
You and the rest of your angry f/os are living on an island of isolation from reality and the rest of the world. Hope you're enjoying those Mesa/Republic/Shuttle America/regional jet pay rates. You deserve to rot there.
PS. any progress on that GED yet?
This, gentlemen, is just one more reason why we need more money in public education!
I would bet the only people that think about US and ALPA are east pilots. ALPA does not need or want your problems.
