I have heard that as a possibility. A few questions that I would hope a flow committee member could answer:
1. Would discrimination mean no hires from wholly owned, or would we consider controlled hiring as discrimination?
2. What number would we sue for? Unlimited flow, hard number, percentage of class?
3. Assuming the need for a lawyer, who would pay the lawyers? ALPA or individuals.
4. Can a discrimination case be filed without a lawyer?
I support an agreement with mainline to hire more wholly owned members (Pilot and FA). It seems a natural progression for those that have been in the US Airways Group for years and understand the US Airways system. Getting bean counters to add value to that intangible..there is a challenge. I still wonder what is our flow committee progress?
