I'll take that as an indication that you'll continue your usual drivel...

"Was there a ruling or are you interpreting arguments?"
Thanks, EC. My bad.
There was an earlier discussion about the Declaratory Judgment. What might be the most likely scenario that'll play out. A discussion ensued with the beasties, and we concluded the probable first event would be a favorable ruling from Silver.
With that concluded, another discussion ensued, the result of which is that the NIC would be the list in any SLI negotiations with APA. So with the growing momentum of a merger, we began working on the most likely challenges. Our most immediate challenges.
Our primary focus now is how do we best prepare for APA. If we've learned anything over the past decade, it's that we'd better anticipate rather than react. You Easties are, of course, welcome to participate.
In laying a foundation, I think there's one big, big element that can't be overlooked:
1)American is in bankruptcy -- US Airways is not.
2) American is in economic distress US Airways is profitable.

Tell us how, when your sold to REPUBLIC it works out! MM! Your relative position argument is memorialized!
This the captain speaking we are going to have a safe flight today because it's my 57th birthday and I was hired in 1985.

So what? I've some reasonable reluctance to assume any significant shifting of the earth's axis due to any/all whims of AOL, past, present or future.....just sayin' 😉
Forcing the NIC will stop the merger. How do you get around it? You sell the west.
No, forcing the NIC will result in some disappointed east pilots for a little while and life will carry on. As you have seen from the MOU peeep show, there are more than a few east pilots ready to move forward and if that means the NIC is the list, then so be it. It's not the end of the world.Forcing the NIC will stop the merger. How do you get around it? You sell the west.
Explain to us why APA cares if the pilot senior to you now is East or West.Forcing the NIC will stop the merger.
age, my friend, age.Explain to us why APA cares if the pilot senior to you now is East or West.
It will just like a pro athlete you will take what"YOUR" contract affords you, scope etc, let history be your guide, PAN AM pacific, Braniff SA etc! The eggs are in the basket but hardly broken!So why hasn't that happened already? Answer- It won't. You can't unscramble the egg.
Who writes this BS, and guess what? we pulled our answer. ! Word up If all BPR members affirmed a "NO" vote that sure aint a sign of "dwindling support" I would write, as you should your next check to AOL!If you ask Steve Crimi or any of the Charlotte reps about the status of the MOU, they will lie and state that it has been pulled from the table. TheEye has confirmed that the MOU was not pulled, rather it was withheld from the US Airways Board of Directors.
In their typically selfish fashion, Steve Crimi and his ever dwindling support base are more concerned with their own imagined career trajectories than the pilot group as a whole. Whether it was using Jonathan Ornstein for a type rating at Freedom or supporting the destructive policies of Mike Cleary, he has left a trail of debris so large
Time is of essence. The MOU has not been pulled by management. The BPR can and should reverse course.
Write them now, before it's too late!
