LOL... I'm not a lawsuit person, can't afford it and it seems disorganized. Let the folks in on it do what they want though and I wish them every success. Cant really comment on that side of things, but I must say the LAST person you want to hear "MAA facts" from is Teddy "I have no time for furloughees, MidAtlantic, or anyuone under 15 years seniority" Xidas. Notice how dismissive anyone from AFA gets anytime it's brought up... always manage to throw in Mesa and Wal Mart, and poverty wages THEY agreed to with the gun to the head blah blah blah. They sure were willing to take our $40 a month we paid to MAINLINE AFA for two years.
P.S. The Embraer division of US Airways Inc, as was its official name, flew from April 2004 to May 2006. Two years. Not one year. Two.
And theere were 25 (TWENTY FIVE) E170s, plus three more that sat in Brazil and were later delivered to Republic. Isnt it great that the union president underestimates a fleet by MORE THAN HALF!!! Not 12, 25.... more E170s than B757s, B767s, A321s, and A330s at the time. But who's counting!
I guess she stopped paying attention after one year and twelve jets? That's alot to miss.
The "contract" was negotiated under the guise of a wholly-owned division, not "temporary mainline certificate".
Cue the "I was there at the negotiating table, its wasnt mainline but a magical airline on the US Airways certificate, the FAA and everyone who worked there is wrong, MAA F/As are young and poor and should work at WalMart" And "in-house slave labor"! Lovely way to refer to your own. It's so much better now that those 28 jets are flown by OUTSIDE slave labor I suppose. Where was the outcry about slave labor when the first contracted RJs hit the property? Or does anyone at US AFA or ALPA know what scope means? Doesnt seem like it.
We've seen this same post over and over for years.....
The only "epiphany" is that the union is as or more crooked than the company, and that airline employees will eat thier young and then complain about the carcass thier company becomes. Yawn!
