June - US Pilots Labor Discussion

[nic4us]

. Have a nice trip to alaska, and don't forget to check out some of the bears....preferably...up close and personal...assuming that even their amazingly robust disgestive systems could handle it 😉

More amazing than their digestive system is a polar bear's sense of smell.

It is 8 times more sensitive than a bloodhounds, and likely 100s if not 1000s of times more sensitive than a human's. A polar bear can smell a seal under the ice at a distance of almost 2 miles, and it seems likely they can smell usapa headquarters in CLT from well north of the arctic circle.

1) The continuous stench of yourself and all those sorts who's "Bible" has but one phrase = "It's ALL about MEEEEE!" From such people come the evils of this world of ours, selfishness being the root of most all such.

2) What an utterly pathetic attempt at "spin". Exactly where does the borderline of "family" draw it's self? While it's extremely clear that you would have ZERO concerns for coworkers of many years...well...not all are equally infected with the "All about MEEE!" virus as are you and your sad sort.

So your family comes second to work?

Talk about stench!

You're everything that's wrong with our society.

Thank you for that, Karl Marx.

You are welcome Reverend Jones.

You are welcome Reverend Jones.

LMAO.

It's downright cruel of you to dash all hopes there....they'll smell him prior to even landing then...nuts! 😉

Those payrates don't like crumbs to me.

They do to me! If they come with the NIC, the $10,000 a year pay raise for me, goes away when I get tossed back to the narrow body for the remainder of my "so called" career! No thanks.

[Move2CLT]

Why would you get tossed back?

Pathetic "spin" as well....hardly surprising. Few ever have much real success whenever attempting to "justify" pure selfishness/self-obsession.

Spin?

You have yet to directly answer the question - does family come second for you!

Only pathetic thing here is your tap dancing.

Hey, pal. It's you westies that keep telling us on the east that it's all about the money, and that we are squandering gazillions every second that we resist the Nicolau award and miss out on the Kirby proposal.

Talk to your own people about laying off the money bit, and maybe I won't have to make it clear to you that I am still tens of thousands of dollars ahead of you fools in PHX who couldn't get hired by a real airline with real compensation.

You mean the real airline that took over your pathetic airline and is about to take over AA. Don't know if it gets much more real than that.

 

[nic4us]

Hmmm...OK. "Let me get this straight" as well: You were hired by AWA....and that was the, no kidding, very best you could manage to do?....Sigh!...I think we're done here.

Per your: "Yep, now I know where the usapians get their delusions of grandeur" Well...I've always wondered where such as yourself get yours. Perhaps you could expand on that for the benefit of those of us that just don't see the slightest possible basis for such 😉

I have no delusions. I understand what binding arbitration means. I also understand what Duty of Fair Representation means. Further, I do not complain that my relative seniority was eroded by the Nic, or promote a remedy to that fact that would steal from east pilots.

Also, yep, AWA was not the "best I could do", but It turned out to be better than I actually expected when I left what you in your ignorance of historical fact would likely be consider a better airline to come here. Oh, and I say "here", because that is just what it is, AWA remains operating as LCC dba USAIrways. Where is your defunct airline except owned by "the best I could do"?

 

[EastUS1]

You have yet to directly answer the question - does family come second for you!

While not applicable to this mere labor squabble; there are cases that arise where even one's own life, quite properly, becomes a secondary concern to performing one's duty. My family members arern't suffering in the least from my taking a stand on the nic nonsense.

Per your "You're everything that's wrong with our society" ...You live in area bereft of any reflective surfaces, much less mirriors, one must assume.

 

[Zone5]

Just to end the speculation regarding Easties. Yep. Us West guys are laughing our asses off at you idiots. All you Eastholes shouldn't be allowed to drive a F'in Zamboni let alone and airplane full of innocent people. Way to go! no other group in aviation history has F'd up their careers as much as you guys have. Hummel is trying to protect you from yourselves...so of course you want him recalled...Easties, as a group, are the dumbest MF'ers to ever disgrace the skies.

Who said anything about recalling Hummel? The drive is to recall the two current PHL reps who want to fight him at evry turn. Please pay attention.

Why did you take it then?

If you don't like the Nicolau you are really not going to like the AA merger list. Another 8500 AA pilots to deal with. Most likely all senior to you and a 7 year equipment fence. What are you going to tell them. Hey get out of your seat I want it? I sacrificed so much don't you understand?

What are you guys going to do when under M/B we get a the same type ratioed list? Not the majority this time. Federal law, not ALPA, can't change unions. Are you guys going to quit? Cry? Illegal job action? Strike? Temper tantrum?
