" OKAY 1700 FURLOUGHED AMERICAN PILOTS BRING NOTHING TO A MERGER ACCORDIND TO CLEARDIRECT" my guess in 2001 you didn't have the qualifications to even interview at AMERICAN , none the less get hired there! Yea bring that we will see how much mileage it gets, good luck if AA emerges as a standalone and purchases US, my guess the "WEST DIVISION" sold !
So kind of you to throw all of the new hires under the bus in favor of American furloughed pilots.

You might want to ask them how they feel about having 1700 furloughed pilot return senior to them?

Thrown under the bus? "CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTION" guess you were hired after 2001, I'll amswer your question with a question, "Should the furloughed AA pilots be thrown underneath the bus, because their MNGMNT downsizes in economic conditions and no other airline (NO LPP PROTECTION) will hire them? Guess you do!

Resolution calling for permanent, separate operations with equivalent contracts.
07-25-07

Jones_Spartano Resolution
AI 07-83 - Equivalent Contract Negotiations

WHEREAS Part 1, Section N., paragraph 1. of ALPA Merger Policy (Merging of Employment Agreements) provides, “In no event, except by mutual agreement of all parties, will the company be given the right to use the merged seniority list prior to the successful conclusion of the merged working
agreement” (Negotiated Single Agreement), and

WHEREAS Section IV. of the Letter of Agreement dated September 23, 2005 between the Association, America West Holding Corporation, America West Airlines, Inc., US Airways Group, Inc., and US Airways, Inc. (the “Transition Agreement”), as approved by the America West and US Airways MECs, provides that management may not use an integrated pilot seniority list prior to separate membership ratification votes by the US Airways and America West pilot membership of a Negotiated Single Agreement, and

WHEREAS hundreds of US Airways pilots appeared in person at the Executive Council meeting May 21st, 2007 and thousands of US Airways pilots have reached out to their elected union officials, at the local and national level, to express their outrage at the unmerited windfalls provided to America West pilots, at the expense of the US Airways pilots, by the Nicolau Award, in clear violation of the provisions
of ALPA Merger Policy, and

WHEREAS a majority of the US Airways pilots have contacted their elected representatives and have made it abundantly clear that no Negotiated Single Agreement that allows these windfalls to take effect will ever be ratified by the US Airways pilots, and

WHEREAS the Executive Council on July 19th, 2007 decided that our union’s resources should be devoted to bringing about practical results through agreements that may include umbrella agreements or multiple agreements, and

WHEREAS the US Airways MEC has been and continues to be willing to abide by the Executive Council resolutions of May 21st and July 19th, 2007 and engage in seeking practical solutions to the issues facing the US Airways and America West pilots, and

WHEREAS the Executive Council has established a committee called the “Rice Committee” chaired by First Vice President Paul Rice and including Executive Board member David Webb and Executive
council member Ray Miller to work both with the US Airways MEC/JNC and the America West MEC/JNC to assist in finding practical solutions that promote mutual career protections and mutual success, with improved pay, benefits, work rules and job security for both US Airways and America West pilots, and

WHEREAS the US Airways MEC has discussed the Collective Bargaining Agreement options brought
forward by the Rice Committee for consideration by the MECs,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the US Airways MEC endorses the concept of equivalent contracts (separate contracts of comparable value for US Airways and America West pilots), with separate operations, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such separate operations are to be permanent in nature and include preemptive contract language to assure their continued application during any future merger involvingboth the US Airways and America West pilots, and

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the US Airways MEC authorizes the US Airways members of the NC to pursue an equivalent contract utilizing all necessary ALPA resources, including the assistance of theRice Committee.

Passes Unanimously

Resolution that pulls the JNC and reassigns them to negotiating committee duties until Retroactive Pay parity (back to September 1, 2007). This resolution states that there will be no JNC negotiations before this retroactive pay parity is provided to the pilots.

Here is another Whopper of a story. Written by Mr. I gave your pension away with ALPA member Tim Baker. And then I went to Airtran.......




Inside the Ring of Fire. Tim Baker Answers Questions About the Circumstances Surrounding
the Loss of the DB Pension Plan
Link: http://www.unbiasedf...eRingOfFire.pdf
Tim believed the Michelle Bryan fairy tale also........Tim talks of the company losing at one period almost 2 million dollars a day. Imagine his consternation if he realized his very pension fund was not flying one jet, and burning through 42 million a month. Pretty close rival to a company operating some hundreds of jets and paying all those salaries...............

Tim and the others are the only reason you have a job rusthead.
