Several East pilots have claimed that the Nic was simply a secondary "last straw" issue, so why would they place their supposed 2 primary long-term concerns of pension and 93 in jeopardy to accept that worse deal if all they got out of it was delay of the "straw" issue ?
Doesn't make sense.
The only thing that makes sense on this issue is that the Nic was THE issue above all else and risking/jeopardizing other issues was secondary and an acceptable consequence. In other words, exact opposite of easy-to-make after the fact claims of now.
Still not buying the claim it was other issues aside from the Nic situation that were the primary reason to oust ALPA. Dumping ALPA was the best strategy for nullifying an arbitration result they didn't like and the creation of USAPA was for one purpose only. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck..........apparently according some here, that means its a peacock.
