No dog in this fight, huh? Yeah, right. Not related to metroyet, the angriest non-US pilot around, are you?
Right after all these years i decide to come to this forum, please, i already stated my position, i am not going to post over and over again for weeks to come, just the general interest, however when i see usapa press releases i may comment, i have nothing to do with us air.
Example of my interests, the candidate obama bothes his release of birth documents, then he botched the release a second time, i started to research this topic because the new governor of hawaii in dec 2010 stated it was his number one priority to release the documents, then two weeks later he stated that it was no longer his priority, i found the whole thing to be odd, so instead of just believing the media, i did the research on my own just out of curioustiy. I have never heard of any state that provides computer generated birth certificates, (maybe that is the norm now?) I have a copy of my original I thought everyone did. Seems to me computer generated documents and not copies of originals are creating an environment for possible fraud, just my opinion. So the whole Obama birth certifcate situation just seems odd, so I was curious, finally after years the President finally released his origninal long form, hmm what do you know. Seemed odd to me that he just did not just release everything at the beginning. End of story but riddle solved. I was interested is all so i researched just like usapa.
So what does this have to do with my interest in usapa, well i flew out of philadelphia a few weeks ago, saw protest about contract for pilots, so i started to look up information out of curiosity, i believe usapa was not protesting in truth, because it appears that parker CANT negotiate because of liability due to NIC. sure enough usapa will not release press release stating they lost motion on june 1st aprox, even though they issued press release for motion on may 31. it was all over the google.
So once again I have no dog in this fight, i will post a few more times, and comment about the process along the way and that is about it. i am not going to be here day after day week after week, i am not that curious. my point is clear, and the courts position is clear, you will lose, but first many thousands might lose their jobs, the long term prosperity of the company is diminished because of your actions.
Again you guys just dont get it, conventional wisdom (true?) believes that merger is the way to go and because of usapa actions these deals were not done, and may not get done, this jeopardizes thousands of peoples jobs, but you guys dont see it, or dont care. You were bankrupt, almost chapter 7 except for white knights, you just dont see it, you agreed to arbitration than broke your word
