2015 Pilot Discussion.

[Phoenix]

"When the fantasy train pulls into reality station..." An APA pilot remarked in 2013..  
 
Reality Station is in D.C. and fantasy train is pulling in today.  
 
And C&R is gonna be a hoot.  Popcorn optional.

Face the facts RR. You are merely a Gold level with no PUSH FOR JUSTICE.
All talk.

You must have dated and inaccurate info.
 
Your concern is noted 😉
 
What level have you reached?
 

 

[Phoenix]

The West merger committee is getting excited for what is "just around the corner".

And don't forget to thank an east pilot for saving your job.

West Merger Committee Update

The three merger committees will simultaneously exchange and publicly release their respective pre-hearing briefs and SLI proposals sometime this evening, but ostensibly no later than midnight Eastern time (9pm PHX). Once the proposals are released, they will be made available on the Seniority Integration page, we will send out a blast email update, and post our proposal documents on our website. The weblinks are as follows:

Here is your best shot at a successful T-minus clock.  Fireworks in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...

That's Dean's car. You know, the top guy on the list of those who did not bring a job to the acquisition. 😉

"Lottery Winner" ... "$2Million"....   It is obviously Eric or another 2004/5 hire.   Maybe even a former TWA/APA/AWA pilot.

Tell those West pilots got to endure furloughs out of seniority order while furloughs from the East got recalled. That's a lottery ticket that you cashed.


Maybe you don't recall the comments from the Nicolau decision. Here's a refresher:

5098 pilots on its seniority list, 1691 of which (33%) were on furlough.'
with the most senior furloughed pilot (Colello)

When all that is considered, in the majority's view, it is far more appropriate to
combine those who brought jobs to the merger, particularly when the
protection of career expectations is of such overriding concern.


If Odell is placed on the list above Colello next to and just below Monda,
who was the junior US Airways active pilot, that will insure that active
pilots are integrated with active pilots and also give Odell a measure
of protection the America West pilots justifiably seek. In making this
judgment, we agree with America West's argument that in this case
active pilots should be merged with active pilots, but do not agree that
the equities are so persuasive as to disadvantage US Airways pilots
such as Monda and those above him, who, like Odell, brought jobs to
the merger.

A majority of the Board has also decided that the totality of premerger
career expectations weighs in favor of active pilots as of the
date of the announcement. When one considers the number and
length of furloughs on the US Airways side and the dim prospects the
airline faced and compares it to the lack of furloughs on the America
West side, which furloughs ceased to exist long before the merger
took place, merging active pilots with furloughees, despite the length
of service of some of the latter, is not at all fair or equitable under any
of the stated criteria.

And if ya get that car out of the water, you might want to update your map... its about eight years out of date.  Wouldn't want to drive off another bridge, next time it might be a cliff.
