One hurdle done, should move along now....
NMB Rules Single Carrier Status
The ruling from the NMB: East and West are operating as a single carrier.
USAPA is seeking a change in union representation for the US Airways pilots. US Airways management and USAPA asserted that both the America West and US Airways pilots constituted a single transportation system for purposes of union representation.
The NMB also concluded that USAPA will have 14 days from today (January 23) to submit authorization cards from at least 50 percent of the combined pilot group.
Following is the NMB’s conclusion:
“The Board finds that East and West are operating as a single transportation system for representation purposes under the RLA. Accordingly, USAPA's application in File No. CR-6926 is converted to NMB Case No. R-7147. Pursuant to Manual Section 19.6, the investigation will proceed to address the representation of the proper craft or class. USAPA and any other interested organizations have 14 days from the date of this determination to file an application supported by a showing of interest of more than fifty (50) percent of the single transportation system or to supplement the showing of interest in accordance with Manual Sections 19.601 - 19.603. The participants are reminded that existing certifications remain in effect until the Board issues a new certification or dismissal. See Manual Section 19.7.â€
