again, its not what i say, but what the arbitrator said. he said you're a newhire for purposes of letter 3 application to eagle now you four parties go figure it out. i'm guessing since ralphie is fighting for his job, the apa will be unavailable until after the runoff and it will go back to the arbitrator in 60 days.
TWA LLC was wholly owned by American Airlines, not by AMR Corp. TWA and AA pilots were represented seperately until April '02, when the NMB officially declared AA/TWA pilots to be a SINGLE CARRIER for representation purposes, and since the TWA/AA pilot seniority list had been integrated April '01, it was just a mere formality. So, one pilot group, under one company, represented by one union. In other words, there were NO 'new hires' for the purposes of Letter 3. There will be new hires after every AA pilot on the AA seniority list that was FURLOUGHED is RECALLED, then Eagle pilots will be allowed to flow up. FAA operating certificates have NOTHING to do with being a new-hire.
