Perhaps you've lied to yourself so many times that you now actually believe this? Don't worry. Every single entity knows exactly what USAPA is/WAS and where the East pilots would have been had AWA not rescued you. Here's an interesting read:
Still think there's going to be a protocol agreement?
Excerpt from Exhibit D; APA SIC Proposal:
SENIORITY INTEGRATION PROTOCOL AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, in implementation of the agreements made in the MOU, the following protocols are established.
3. Within ___ days of the execution of this Protocol Agreement, the
Merger Committees shall compile, verify, certify and exchange (in electronic
Excel format whenever possible) employment data for each pilot on their
respective pre-merger seniority lists, as follows.
a. The information certified and exchanged will include the
following information:
(3) The identification, with an appropriate designator on
the seniority list, of any pilot whose placement on the
pre-merger list was determined by a prior seniority
integration agreement or award. Provide each such
pilot's dates of employment at predecessor airlines,
subject to previous seniority integrations (e.g., TWA,
Reno, Air Cal, TCA, America West, Piedmont,
USAirways Shuttle, PSA, Empire).
The APA wants the Nic in hand. Perhaps the next arbitration panel won't be "senile" and see your staple job attempt as righteous and deserved...or perhaps they'll just take the East and West list and feather one for one eliminating the 519 whose WB protection has already been used.
Someday the enormity of the USAPA mistake will dawn upon you.
