Naw you had a voice you chose and you voted did you not?? I call you what the rest of the world thinks of you as which is a SCAB!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airline_Pilots_Association
The USAPA was formed later in 2007, with the sole purpose of "scabbing", or "breaking" the union in place on both sides, ALPA. Its constitution lists "date-of-hire" as the primary methodology to be used for establishing or merging seniority lists,[5] which would greatly improve the standing of the East pilots, who outnumbered the West pilots by nearly 2:1.[6] This policy difference and a suggested general dissatisfaction with ALPA's representation of US Airways pilots over the years have been suggested as the main reasons for replacing ALPA with USAPA.[7]
The US Airways West pilots see the formation of USAPA as a clear attempt to circumvent or nullify the previously awarded binding arbitration results. US Airways West pilots have generally declined to join USAPA[citation needed] and do not believe the new union represents their best interests. They have formed another organization, the America West Airline Pilots Protective Alliance (AWAPPA), specifically to promote the preservation of the seniority arbitration results.[8]
This is how you are viewed and how your career will end. I have addressed over and over about your non furloughed 17 yr pilot and how you expect him/her to go from jr reserve first officer on the day before the merger to senior line holding captain the day after the merger. The west is just supposed to pay that price because AAA was so screwed up and we need to give them our career expectation right?? Please! you know what you and the book already has your name in it!!
