I'm not sure what all the hoopla is about. We had a lawsuit against ALPA which the court tossed when USAPA was voted in. Stands to reason that the same thing is about to happen to Addington II. There is no longer anyone to sue. And as far as the NIC goes, there is a protocol agreement signed that states that three seniority lists will be used in the SLI arbitration. What has that got to do with the NIC? My guess is nothing. Let them dance around the fire for a while. Reality will be a cold slap in the face.
Agree with that.
 
This ELATION by the "WEST" hasn't been felt since their children finally after years of trying graduated from kindergarten, ! MM!
 
Now the East pilots will pay lower union dues, and the West pilots will have more money to donate to AOL. Did AOL design a new tie yet?

Still no DOH either.
DOH would have put quite a few westicles in the left and right seat of our wide body's and would have given your boys quite a few upgrades, really makes you look quite stupid. Stay locked in PHX.

Don't expect to see AA's big planes for years.

Ha! With those ridiculous conditions and restrictions that those "wise" USAPA sheep told the West should be happy to have. Good one!

Truth hurts, makes you look real stupid.........


"Yes, the East offered the NIC. They just wanted to protect their retirement attrition, which stalled by the change in Age-60. Looking back, that offer must look like a home run to any West pilot right now, "


"Our former MEC and our union leadership played a very high stakes game of poker by not dealing at Wye River. Freund was right, we were risking everything..and right now, it looks like we lost. They need to take responsibility for that."


"The pilots chose to change course and removed Frank and myself with the rest of C-62 Reps in the fall 2005 elections. Dont blame the company on that. The new dream team went right to work with no knowledge or understanding of where we were or what we had accomplished.
Their first action was starting to fight with the East, undoing all the work we did to be a unified pilot group. We would never agree on seniority but we agreed on practically everything else. They never understood the T/A language and never asked for our help. Barely two months into their terms, they started removing the negotiating team and replacing them with the same people that gave us C-04. Mark Burdick was marginalized and eventually removed, replaced by Doug Dotter. Dotters ego and mistrust of the East doomed all the work we had all already completed. He was constantly reopening already completed sections. If not for all the reopening and second guessing of the work already completed, we would have voted on a TA on long before the NIC arbitration even began. With a single contract, the NIC would have been in effect when the NIC award came out."

But now us "Westicles" will be upgrading into all the left seats. I'm easily going to be a line holding group2 captain with weekends off. Perseverance, courage and unity got us here- you wouldn't understand.

Wow how insightful. Post a few quotes of various selected and filtered opinions and if I don't agree with you then call me stupid. Bravo.
