How's that been working for you so far?

Says the lowest paid North Atlantic WB Captain.


How the 5 addtional years of LOA 93 under USAPA working for you?

The Nicolau award is the seniority list until a different one is negotiated in a new contract.

In your mind, that is true.

In reality, not so much.

I don't get this sites BS ops. bottom line is that I got my A330 type rating yesterday. In about 2 yrs, I will look at a left seat bid on the A320, about 2 yrs before retiring.......choices! Had we chosen the Kirby proposal, I would have gained about a 10% raise and would have been stuck there till retirement at around $95k/yr, due to West pilots cutting in line ahead of me. W/O the MOU, I am at $112/yr on the A330......and as all of you know, the MOU changes all of that. Thanks to my East brothers for standing up for what is right, I appreciate it! breeze

Congrats on the new type rating!

Here is the "thought sir" WTF is the LUP? She DEMANDS you have one. What is it?

You don't work here. Why should anyone give any bandwidth to answering your questions? You are irrelevant.

Stagnation west, growth east, say it with me boy, Odell knows it!!!!!

Vacancy bid, PHX

"16 A320 CA upgrades, 2 B757 CA upgrades and 66 new FO Positions. 48 FO Positions will be in the A320 and the other 18 will be backfilled into the Positions vacated by the upgrading FOs. This will allow all furloughed pilots the opportunity to return."

Says the guys who thinks Nicolau crafted the award out of vindictiveness.

Exactly the answer I expected. Tell that to Silver when she asks. Best of luck. HA!!

Great news about the recalls. Strange, with all our retirements, why does your bid not show any openings on the 767 or 330? RR

Kid?

I remember the Kennedy assassination.

Because the little AFO's club is holding their senoir guys back.

Great news congrats!, just proof positive no damages due to separate ops! MM!

Fly, your view is shared by a large majority of East pilots. Problem is there are two parties to contract, USAPA and US Airways. It is US Airways that has to agree with us, otherwise we only have a work action to respond. Strike that. The NMB will not let us take a work action with pending litigation, and a legitimate safety campaign was turned into an illegal work action by the CLT reps and Cleary a few years back. We are injuncted and are screwed, no current recourse. Pending current litigation, our hands are tied for at least two years. One thing the West Class says is correct, the only way to a contract earlier than that is for the East to push the Nic across the table as our list. Good luck on ever even getting that contract out for a vote. It would never leave the BPR. Would the East vote in such a list? Eventually, probably after I am gone. 3/4 at least of our list would suffer more than reasonable harm under the NIC. The new hires probably (and who knows) would favor NOT having another 1500 pilots come in on top of them. Better later than never for that. Tell your family to hunker down as they have for years. With the merger now dead that is our only recourse, else Lex Luthor causing PHX to fall into the Pacific. RR

The reason the NIC is DOA plain and simple!
