USAPA needs to go away the sooner they better for everyone involved including the east pilots. The only think USAPA represents is their leadership and lawyers.
Why doesn't APA forget any kind of negotiations (Not like USAPA is honest and would honor it anyway) and just call for a new represntative vote from all Pilots?
We don't need two pilot unions on this property. One needs to take a hint.
The company's response in part. Key word: contumacious
Case 2:13-cv-00471-ROS Document 303 Filed 03/03/14
Consistent with this Court’s observation, “USAPA [has] change[d] its position when it needs to do so to fit its hard and unyielding view on seniority.” (Doc. No. 298 at 20:23-21:1.) Although it obviously does not agree with this Court’s ruling that it has no right to participate in the seniority-integration process once it is decertified as the
collective bargaining representative for the pre-merger US Airways pilots, USAPA should be expected to abide by this Court’s Order or, alternatively, seek relief from that Order with a proper motion of its own. USAPA’s request to delete the additional statements from this Court’s Order will only facilitate further contumacious behavior on its part. The request should be denied.
