So, you are not a usapa insider, BUT, you spent 3 1/2 days at usapa hq?
The win at the 9th was not based on a lie. If 10h is/was "seniority neutral" what is it doing there in the first place?
I will tell you. It is there because the usapa lawyer...you know, the guy who is supposed to represent the entire union....inserted it to protect the east pilots from implementation of the Nic at MOU passage. Straight up violation of the TA, and straight up representation of the east pilots at the West pilot's expense.
The argument that MOU passage would not have happened if the east knew it implemented the Nic is not a legitimate union purpose. The MOU had contingency for non-passage, and the theory was never tested. All bets say LCC pilots would have passed the MOU without 10h.
Finally, why do you think the West merger committee reps quit? and, the east MC came out with a non-DOH list now because they are further trying to pad their positions and get very junior 3rd listers and such above West pilots.
It is not rocket surgery, it is seniority integration...and the east is going to get clobbered because you are just too completely stupid to understand what seniority is, what is meant by binding, why you don't get to renege on contracts, and why the company will never negotiate anything with a group on the wrong side of the liability factor.
