No. CV-10-01570-PHX-ROS
JUDGMENT
Pursuant to the Court’s resolution of the motions for summary judgment,
IT IS ORDERED
Counts I and III of the complaint are dismissed and judgment is
entered in favor of US Airline Pilots Associa
tion on Count II of the complaint. US Airline
Pilots Association’s seniority proposal does not breach its duty of fair representation
provided it is supported by a legitimate union purpose.
DATED this 11
th
day of October, 2012
Just a few things form the MOU that make me question the letters:
"15. US Airways agrees that it will comply with the East and West CBAs and the Transition Agreement
until the Effective Date."
"3. Beginning on the effective date of the POR (the “Effective Date”), pilots employed by US Airways
shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the MTA that are generally applicable to pilots
employed by New American Airlines. The eligibility of US Airways pilots for a defined contribution
plan accrual shall commence on the Effective Date, and US Airways’ contribution to the retirement
plan beginning on the Effective Date shall be calculated by multiplying an eligible pilot’s eligible
compensation under the applicable retirement plan by the percentage contribution made by New
American Airlines to its pilots’ defined contribution retirement plan."
"Once the MTA has been fully implemented, it shall fully displace and render a nullity any prior
collective bargaining agreements applicable to US Airways pilots and any status quo arising
thereunder."
Anyway, I've had enough. In all seriousness, thanks for posting the letters. I have to give credit where credit is due and say that AOL does a good job of keeping it's members informed. Please post the response letter you receive.
This is from judge Silvers order:
In the end, the Court cannot provide as much guidance as it had hoped it could.
21 Pursuant to the Ninth Circuit’s decision, any claim for breach of the duty of fair
22 representation will not be ripe until a collective bargaining agreement is finalized.
I don't know how else to explain to you that usapa has won nothing, as a matter a fact the mou removes every usapa/company excuse as it is a clear move towards a contract(mou or jcba, your choice) with no way out. the 9th simply said a contract is required and both Silver and the 9th repeatedly warn usapa of a "unquestionably ripe dfr". So you seem to have half a brain, what is usapa's legitimate purpose to abandon the Nic. For a doh list that harms only the west?
