Somebody is also very responsible for selling the Fishbowl inhabitants a bill of goods.Phoenix said:
That latest east bid crushed it, especially on the 330.
It is said Fishbowl Little bus drivers select brakes medium in KPHL so as to not go near Tango and the International operation in PHL. It is that demoralizing.
Simmons, Ferguson,Vasin, Koontz and the 2004 west hires blew it.
If that was not so tragic I might be able to laugh, all wannabee ALPA lawyers, soaking that group out of their hard earned money, got a feelin this is a new tie upgrade season, phase 2 1000 bucks?Claxon said:

The East had their own small band of quislings who favored turning over the keys to the kingdom to the Tempe underacheivers. Too bad for the Stephan/Pollock fanboys that the USAPA founders sent them packing.
I wish I could see the looks on their faces when they sit in the theater and watch the upcoming Clint Eastwood masterpiece, Sully. It is entirely possible that they will lose bowel control when the USAPA studs kick ass against the out-of-control FAA desk jockeys. Talk about having your inadequacies exposed!

Word is that Mr. Eastwood considered opening the film with an exhausted Sully collapsing on the couch of his crashpad after a 4 day, watching the 2am presentation of Dr. Neil Niren's hair plug replacement infomercial, starring one of Sully's least favorite colleagues, USA320Pilot.
Sadly, many scenes end up on the cutting room floor. Such is Hollywood.

After Clint bullseyed Vasin's bald head with tobacco juice, he'd no doubt give the paunchy Black Top Pest lead singer some of the old High Plains Drifter treatment.
That's Johnny Mac looking on, btw.

"According to our reports, on Day One of Wye River, Jeff Freund warned the West MEC that if USAPA won, the West risked losing everything. He urged reaching an agreement. He was gone on Day Two. We wont address his motivation for leaving."dariencc said:
"As Jeff Freund observed in his rebuttal to the East MEC lawsuit, the NIC was not in stone."
"Jeff Freund is a top-notch lawyer. We have no doubt that he told our MEC the truth about how negotiable the NIC really was. The question is: why didnt CJ, Bendett, et al, listen?"
"What good are attorneys if you dont take their advice?"
"Freund was right, we were risking everything..and right now, it looks like we lost. They need to take responsibility for that."
Hey Dorothy, I think you should have taken the NIC when we offered it to you at Wye........it has to be tearing you apart.......

Dear Doug:
I'm writing to express my complete and utter disappointment with
today's announcement that Captain Sullenberger will be appointed to a
management position within the company. In fact, as a result of Capt.
Sullenberger's decision to use his new found fame as a weapon against
1800 former America West pilots in a recent federal court case over
pilot seniority, I find the company's announcement particularly
insulting. Not only does this decision now forever discredit the
company's purported "neutrality" in the pilot seniority issue, but it
also calls in to question the credibility of the entire safety
management team. As I hope you'll agree, it is in everybody's best
interests to keep flight safety an issue that is far removed from
politics.
I can respect that Capt. Sullenberger has his own personal opinions
regarding the seniority situation, however, I believe that his
decision to testify in court raises reasonable question as to his
ability to adequately perform his new duties without bias. Capt.
Sullenberger did not provide any relevant testimony in the case, and
was only called to testify by USAPA in the hopes that his celebrity
status would unfairly influence a jury. Instead of limiting the use
his celebrity status in support of productive goals such as promoting
aviation safety and the image of US Airways, he blatantly abused that
status by unnecessarily inserting himself on the losing side of an
issue that he played no prior role in. I cannot be reasonably assured
that he would not similarly misuse his position in management.
While I'm certain that this letter will fall on deaf ears, I can
assure you that this letter by no means an end to this issue, and that
you will be in need of much more than a well polished statement at a
crew news session to address it.
Sincerely,
/s/

A pity there. Just imagine adding in a few of PHX's finest dancing girls ala cactus"boy"-Dorothy flourishing pom poms and chanting "This is Sparta!" and what a moment of potentially "epic" cinematic masterpiece has sadly been forever lost to the world....well, unless a "Director's Cut" edition is made available later, of course. Hmm...perhaps that could even include "cap'n aux" bragging about personally experiencing (and I quote) "The most dangerous flying in the world" as well, just a thought.
