When you were hired the company had already merged or was in the process of merging. It was up to the New US Airways to base you on the West side or the East side. So either way you would have been put on the bottom. Due to the lawsuit/USPA/Etc the groups have remained separate. So you think that entitles you to being senior to pilots you were hired beneath?

To put it another way if we end up in separate ops with AA and 5 years from now they hire 1,000 plus on the AA side should you be junior to any of them???


Third listers were not a product of merging two airlines where arbitration decides career expectations etc. There is no dispute as to where you belong on the US Airways list.
