Plenty of SCABS at A-WEST I'm sure they would do it in a heartbeat!

There are a very small number of pilots in the west that are listed on the "official scab list" ....if one exists :blink: .
We will abide by the TA that we signed if the aircraft are based in PHX. We will go through whatever process deemed necessary and follow through with the end decision.
The difference you ask?? We won't turn coat and cry NOT FAIR! We will abide by the agreements that we signed and hold our head high. We will be true to our word and priciples.
To those pilots that believe that Jack and the boys DO NOT HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS in mind: Call your representatives and demand that they send in the JNC to complete a contract IMMEDIATELY. Doug has the money, and together we can negotiate a better contract.
To those pilots that believe Jack and the boys DO HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS in mind: Call your doctor and ask that your medications be increased.

Amazing...I am still not convinced the 340s are ever coming to this sorry outfit and I will not believe it 100% until I see the first one break ground on the way to Peking . This is a tried and true USAir tactic, the "carrot and big stick" technique. As far as I am concerned, Dougie can shove the 340s where the sun never shines. You know, at least us Easties know, they are going to have strings attached. Just look at this thread. Oh, oh, I want to fly the big plane, oh, oh. Pilots are so predicatable and management uses that against us every time.

How many years have you been with America West?
Also the official scab list does not come up on the internet anymore, what a coincidence that you mention this and now it is not available to see on the web recently.

Because it works? Why are pilots so predictable?
Perhaps, like the neo-cons want to create chaos in the middle east, we need to create chaos here. Pick and choose what falls out.

"The America West presence will be felt there long after we all come home."
"America West Airlines, and the few individuals among us who kept Ansett Airlines alive while they began a very slow and painful rebuilding process. Without our presence in Australia, Ansett would have gone the Aussie equivalent of Braniff "
Oh so you save the Aussies now us.
Scab America West pilots in Australia
The reason America West pilots were sent down there to scab by their company is Ansete invested money in your company. You also ran drugs for Sir Peter Abel who held ownership in Ansete.
". Then there was the Bangkok connection to the America West pilots narcotics trafficking case. These pilots, who included America West V.P. of Operations, Patrick Thurston, and Flight of the Intruder pilot, Helmut Bubel, after meeting at the Arizona Biltmore to hatch their drug trafficking plot met again in Bangkok, Thailand to arrange their first cargo --- which was to net them a million dollars apiece!!"
Phoenix heroin connection article
To keep America West alive your pilots chose to scab and run drugs.
Cactusboy quote: "We will be true to our word and principles."
Nice history of principles.
You asked by the way. Any more questions about the America West pilot heritage, please feel free to ask again cactus boy, I have more, it helps to have a FBI connection.
By the way I love the arrogant smiley face you added when you knew the list was removed from the internet ahead of time. More history info to follow.

The flight would originate with a 767 then continue on as a 340.

Who flys the China Leg?
You are one bitter fool. Get over yourself and your FBI connection. Who cares!! We have some damn good West pilots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You need to get professional help soon. America West will always go down as the safest, no accidents airline in the World. It amazes me, you people can't even be greatful for anything. Get a life!! We have great people both East and West, start counting your blessings, and stop blaming all your problems on the West pilots, they didn't make the merger.. So put your anger towards mgmt!!! JMHO

Would we be the first ALPO pilot group to fly the 340?
They still haven't said where these A340s are coming from...will they actually be new builds? Substituted in place of some of the A330-200 orders? OR will they be leased from the secondary market? I have a hunch that Air Canada wants to get rid of their A343s, since they are transitioning to an all Boeing wide body fleet. We already had a chance to grab 2 of their A340-500s , but those airplanes have since been sold/leased to TAM of Brasil.

The company already is looking at a few A340s from another carrier..so the first group of 340s will not be new builds...Airbus can not even have them made by the 2009 start date of China.
And how did you arrive at that conclusion? Airbus uses the same production line for the A340-300 as the A33x, which has recently been ramped up. There should be no problem, especially with US's leverage, in getting 2 A343s by year end 2008 if they are ordered within the next 2 -3 months.
