"h. US Airways agrees that neither this Memorandum nor the JCBA shall provide a basis for
changing the seniority lists currently in effect at US Airways other than through the process set forth in
this Paragraph 10."
And here is the relevant part of Hummel's deposition. You know, the one where you said that Gary stated he didn't know anything about 10h? After actually reading it, see if you want to stick with that.
·Q.· ·Okay.· I want to direct your attention to
·1· page number seven, which is USAPA 001769, and ask you
·2· if you have any firsthand knowledge about how
·3· paragraph 10H came into existence?
·4· · · ·A.· ·Yes.
·5· · · ·Q.· ·Okay.· Tell me what your firsthand
·6· information is with respect to how paragraph 10H came
·7· about.
·8· · · ·A.· ·I believe it was --
·9· · · ·Q.· ·Okay.· I mean, when you say I believe, I
10· want to make sure that I'm getting your firsthand
11· information.· So when you say I believe, it's your
12· recollection?
13· · · ·A.· ·It's my recollection.
14· · · ·Q.· ·Firsthand?
15· · · ·A.· ·Firsthand.
16· · · ·Q.· ·Okay.
17· · · ·A.· ·That -- and I'll preface this by saying
18· that when I became president and the NAC first was
19· appointed, and I had a conversation with Roland and
20· Ken Holmes, Rocky Calveri, John Owens and Dean
21· Colello, when we were negotiating MOU I, I made it
22· perfectly clear to them that it was their objective
23· to deal with pay benefits and working conditions
24· and to not deal with any inference to seniority
25· given our charge from Scott Kirby and Dave Bates
·1· and the whole thing that that would be dealt with
·2· later, and that that was how we proceeded
Now, let's get back to my question that you sidestepped. Why didn't you guys call Kirby as a witness and blow Gary's deposition out of the water? Could it be that it would work very well for you? Naw. You need to get in touch with your handlers first?
Why would we need to call Kirby? Kirby said you are not to address east/west seniority in the Mou. Usapa included 10h in there for no reason, it wasn't requested by the company or apa. The only person to testify tha 10h "wiped the slate clean" was Collelo, he even testified that he never told a soul the meaning of 10h. So numb nuts, was Kirby's charge that the Mou not deal with east/west seniority followed by usapa? I mean, is wiping the Nic. Off the map considered not dealing with east west seniority? Was Symansky telling the west the mou did not give away our rights to the Nic. A lie?
