Any contract that would have validated the Nic would have been to costly for the company, thereby making the Nic forever unusable.

They did stumble themselves into the benefits you mentioned but made fools of themselves in front of their entire peer group in the airline industry. After over 6 years of trying, they could not even see the completion of the US/AW merger on the horizon. Management failure of biblical proportions.
It would have taken quite high wages to make up for the losses created by the Nic. In my opinion.nycbusdriver said:
Costly how? I'm simply curious to know what you mean.
Had the contract been in place in May, 2007, I think about 25+% percent of the USAirways pilot roster would have resigned within 6 months as it would have been better to start over at one of the other majors, or go overseas. That would have been expensive. (There actually was a small exodus immediately following Nic's abortion by pilots who saw no way out of it. Most of them are probably Jet Blue, Spirit, or Virgin America captains now.)

cactusboy53 said:Riiiight. That's why it's still the ONLY list recognized by the company. That's why the company AND APA insisted that the West have a seat at the SLI table. That's why the APA sees the need & wisdom of using the Nicolau Seniority List as the beginning point for the LUS pilots.
A decade later and your recognized list is still just as worthless as the day it was issued. You need a seat at the table because you NEED a seat at the table.cactusboy53 said:Riiiight.
