First, I do not think you understand my position. My position is that the Nic would be integrated with the AMR list in whatever fashion an arbitration panel deems is appropriate for our circumstances. Each case turns on it's own merit.Piedmont1984 said:nic
Your side keeps arguing that APA will avoid liability at all costs. Another possibility is that they will take a calculated risk if they feel confident that they can defeat a DFR challenge. If a formula is agreed to first, then it will apply to all 3 lists. No final list until all three parties are combined using one formula. So why would APA prefer the Nic model? Current and recent furloughs at AA constitutes a large number and until recently they were in bankruptcy. The Nic rewards financial condition and career expectations while stapling furloughees and depreciating longevity. A DOH/LOS biased model will protect senior APA pilots with the use of fences, give credit to furloughed/recently furloughed junior pilots, while the temporary pain to the rest will be mitigated by our turbocharged attrition rate. Other than possible DFR exposure, I don't see why APA would prefer to go with your model.
It is not a Nic model I am proposing...it is the actual Nic, integrated with the AMR list.
I would assume that the APA much prefer the Seeman model of seniority is like crew meals and you can rearrange whatever the whim of the majority at the minority's expense because DFRs are so hard to win model!
I much prefer, and so do Senators McCaskill and Bond, that arbitration be afforded the parties, and run amok senioritybtheft as is rampant at uscaba is held in check!
