You have an internal union disagreement. Period.
The East pilots, namely me and several others, have tried to unify. You just can't get what you want. DOH is not staple, regardless of what you call it. You want more than we will vote for. Your "rights" are your right to a voice and a right to a vote....just like me.
You and your west self inflated egos are stoked by placating promises that neither myself nor my fellow east pilots committed to.
You just keep trying to convince yourselves of your righteous cause. We'll just keep on advancing.
Airbus CAPTAIN training 24th of July. Looking forward to RON's in PHX with the new hire crews I'll be flying with. When we parade around the terminal, make sure you stop us and tell us how afflicted you are. No, wait, you'll be at the next PHX crew briefing with Parker asking for handouts.
Good luck with YOUR "informational picketing".
An internal union dispute between two parties, that has already been resolved using binding arbitration. The only thing that has changed is, who is the CB Agent for the two parties involved in the arbitration.
The right to a voice? Same as you? ....F-You. PHX domicile updates are censored. MIGs are ejected from open meetings. Have you been labeled a felon in public by the maggot president?
A vote? On what? usapa is incapable of producing anything to vote on, and is a failure of a union on every level. You were not one of the scab wannabees who helped form it , were you?
You are still drinking the little lawyer's kool aid. You do realize the union busting lawyer is 0-3-1 so far? And that does not count the LOA 93 loss coming, or the pension investigation ignorance, or the vast number of denied motions. Count all that up and he is like 0-20-1.
You are not getting DOH. So there is no reason to argue whether it is a staple. However, there is no doubt it is an over the top windfall for the furloughed people who leapfrog West Captains who have greater LOS.
Congratulations on the upgrade/requal whatever it is for you. On your PHX layovers, while you parade around the terminal, be sure to explain to your newhire F/O that the reason their pay and work rules suck soo bad is so that you could reneg on a deal. If the F/O is a West pilot, you might want to just keep your reneging trap shut. Oh, one more thing, don't slam any doors on peoples fingers.
