So you carried TRADER and USA320 on your jumpseat, good for you! ,OH and those 2 dozen F/A's flying INT'L and wouldn't bid PHX except to bid VACA on a dare, BTW LUV is in the 500 as well as alot of other EAST posters, our boy 924(our money on) well the land of fruits and nu'''''''''''''''''!Bob,
I have met two who specifically told me, unprompted by me I might add (I never bring up these matters with east pilots in person) that they would like usapa to just implement the Nic and get a joint contract so they could just drive across town to the parking lot rather than have to commute across the country. One was a DCA A320 captain and the other was a CLT A320 FO.
Further, I have met numerous east pilots from SAN (including luv9's Mr. my money is on Parker), three from LAX, one from RNO, one from LAS, and I know there are a bunch in the bay area.
If I remember correctly, even Sully testified about how his commute would be easier to PHX?
My jab at Luv9 was to show that there are indeed east pilots who are being harmed by usapa and their fellow east pilots.
Also, I was hoping luv9 would have replied because I do not understand his motivation. He says he is in the top 400, yet brags about attrition that would not effect a pilot in the top 400.
One more thing, I have carried over 2 dozen east flight attendants home to western domiciles (most to/from SAN), and forced seperate ops is also hurting them.
