Just because they got purchased buy America West? well that wasn't their chance to "make everything right" with their career on the backs of the original America West Pilots...it's really that simple and about as objective as one can be.
Now there should have been fences in place for USAIR widebody flying AND international flying?....sure. But DOH integration is not fair and equitable as the Nic award indicated
Purchased? AWA didn't have the money to purchase anything. It was a merger and US had more cash, aircraft and routes than AWA.
Should a guy in indoc get everything before a guy with 17 years moving forward? The separate ops since 2007 have shown how f'ed up Nic was. The majority of what was left of US came from the east.
That said, I agree that a DOH list wasn't the answer to the problem.
