Some people think if they steal within the confines of the legal system it won't be recognized as theft .
Excellent point, and so true....
So, where is my pension, legally stolen, not rt in my view, but gone nonetheless...damn'it, sucks to be me....
So, where is the nic, legally blocked, not rt in a westies view, but blocked nonetheless.....damn'it, sucks to be awestie.....
Our legal system isn't perfect, but smarter people than me have said its the best we can expect, and supposedly better than any other... Go figure....
Westies might get it back ( the nic) soon, but I'm not placing a bet on it, could happen though.
What I know will not happen, because the company imposed the "no bump, no flush" for obvious enough reasons.... Maybe the company anticipates the nic being instituted? Who knows.....
No westie will bump or flush a bid holder from their bid position. But with displacement rights they could push into a position above an East pilot. And with rumored right sizing of PHX after 2016, getting the nic is imperative for the westies. They have given up so much ground by non participation that without the nic and displacement rights, their plummet into seniority hell will have just begun...
They should insist on the APA that it is nic or nothing. They should drive that point home. Certain westies have taken a leadership role in "schooling" the AAnatives about how the LUS operates. The LAA folks seem to be taking it to heart. Some seem real interested in being told by a westie, former alpa rep, to mind their own business, these food fights don't concern them, to just move along.
Yea, the LAA are really takin heed as to who runs the ship from now on....
Good luck to the westies, otherwise we might all be in for dire consequences... We might have to pay protect them..... Or suffer some "leet-e-gay-shun" ....
