The east forced the west to downgrade and furlough in 2008 and you use this as proof nic. Got it wrong and the west got a windfall. Just ridiculous. Lets see, I was a 757 captain when we merged and got downgraded in 2008, you think that your stealing my job should count against me? I hope you walk into arbitration and use that.
Liar or stupid? I can't figure you out.
First of all, Nicolau didn't use the 2005 list. He used the 2007 list that, in his words, more reflected the realities of the merged airline. But he held several hundred pilots that had already returned from furlough to THEIR 2005 position-furloughed. At the most EF had about 250 west pilots junior to him, but he got about 600 active east pilots put below him, and the entire furloughed list that either returned or resigned shortly thereafter. What did that do to his relative position? The undeniable fact is that west pilots junior to about the 35% point on the west list would get a bump in relative position on the Nic and it keeps getting bigger as the years go on. Have you actually read the Nicolau award? From your posts it appears that you haven't. It's available on cactuspilot.com if you would like to really educate yourself.
Nobody stole your job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are no east pilots flying west equipment. Separate ops, again! You've been told why you lost your seat. You decided that you wouldn't give an inch on the Nic, we decided we wouldn't either.
