No, I don't think the APA will be stupid enough to put themselves in the position to be hosed. That would be you guys all on you own.

You have a common refrain that the Nicolau was unfair to the furloughed east guys. I talked with Jeff Freund today about this very thing in discussing how SLIs are affected by the economic analysis of the pre merger companies. Nicolau put the east furloughed guys below Dave O'Dell precisely because US Airways had no future going forward. The only deal on the table was from America West. The only plan B was liquidation. So Nicolau placed those guys below the bottom active America West pilot because they had zero expectation of ever coming back to US Airways. Considering Freund has been in this business for over 30 years and has been involved in the process with all the RLA players I would have to say that this should put your argument to rest.
