Pi, might this all change once the new seniority list is in place? I would think so. :unsure:

Which one are you counting on being in place? Guess either one would change it though.

Didn't I read that the west had been carrying 100 extra pilots for a while? If so, it's only really 25 west to 125 east. Bid 08-04 is a heck of a cut for us. The east payrates have been subsidizing the west for a while.
Is there a west displacement bid out yet?
That sounds like a good USAPAian: "Look at those overpaid pilots!" Yeah, I wonder how Bradford gets anything done with all the other airline clamoring to join a group like USAPA.
Oh, that's right he doesn't anyway, too busy intimidating his constituency.
Sounds like a standard westie response, ignore the question and throw out something about USAPA. I never said the west was overpaid, they are underpaid. We on the east have just been paid worse and that has helped the company.
How about it, your bid out? You guys been carrying 100 extra for a while?
I don't know. I do know that cutting 10% on one side and 4% on the other is something that a responsible union that claims to want to defend the interests of ALL US Airways pilots should be outraged over.
I don't see much outrage. Bradford seems to like the west contract; the west pilots not so much.

I don't understand how Us Airways thinks it has superseded the AWA pilots. The comments posted about working together as one and you boast about winning. Us Airways appears to be playing there own game and calling the rules as they go along, similar to the Bush Admin, as long as things go their way. Seniority might matter but, integrity is what founded this country! If the pubLic was aware of the selfish attitude and childish demeanor: such as physical violence, threats and name calling the company would be in bankruptcy yesterday instead of on its way for tomorrow. The general public show be ware of the aged on medical leave as well.
Both sides agreed to arbitration when Us Airways did not prevail they whined and then outvoted the union, not to mention the East has more pilots. Then you are allowing your fellow employees to lose their job. AWA will at least step up to the plate and try to bargain early retirement, reduce guarantee etc. to help the fellows to stay on board.
Us airways is the typical self-center American that needs to grow up!
What do you mean exactly by "superseded"?
What do you mean by "aged on medical leave"?
You sound a bit angry & possibly discriminatory. Hmmmm...
USAirways seems to be shrinking the company fleet size in accordance with the current labor contracts of West & East. Each of those contracts have a "minimum fleet size" requirement.
The East was pulled down in the last bankruptcy - (mgts way of beating out leasing company contracts)
The West would have been pulled down if the outside investment group hadn't invited both East and West to the party.
Now that oil is twice the price it was only two (2) years ago mgt has to do what has to be done to save the company. That means reducing the fleet size to the minimum contractrual agreements.
West has more aircraft than the minimum - therefore - the West will take a larger hit than the East.
Read the contracts - do the math. It's really that simple.
When, not if, a joint contract is agreed upon - there will be a new minimum fleet size....one that all of the USAirways pilots probably won't like.....it will be smaller.
Uh OK. Dad doesn't need your help here Kiddo.
Work on your English skills this summer; your essay here isn't going to cut it in seventh grade.
Don't forget to find some time to enjoy your youth and don't get caught up in your parent's complaints.
PS: wear sunscreen: years later, you'll be glad you did.
LOL, can't you see that KristaC is someone's kid? She's been listening to Mom and Dad rant over supper and she's trying to help. Her little missive is right off MySpace. As a parent, I can tell that she's probably about 12-14 years old.
