No, we used someone to construct a list from a policy that constantly changes! Seems the AFA and everyone else can see it, how many times does ALPA change that policy? Or better yet why? http://www.alpa.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=WpYTk6T1Hs0%3D&tabid=3345Not completely true.
If the east pilots had not demanded DOH/LOS we might have come to a deal. If the east had not demanded furloughed pilots be placed senior to active west pilots we might have come to a deal. But the east MC was not allowed to come off that position.
So we went to arbitration and we have the nicolau.
All of you east pilots need to read this preamble carefully. It answers most of your arguments.
It was not ALPA national's fault it was your own MC. It is not ALPA nationals responsibility to set your strategy it was your MC.
You may not think it is fair but we hired someone to determine what was fair. Nicolau did that.
