So I will give you the same question the same question as Frisco. If all that is true and USAPA is evil incarnate, why did the APA sign a PA? Why not wait a few more days until SCS and do what they wanted? Hmmm.

I've passed this on before, but I think it's worth repeating as we go forward. I flew with a former PSA guy that was on their strike committee during the strike in the late 70' or early '80s. It didn't go well and I asked him why. He said "Well, when you go through something like that, both sides throw out a lot of BS. You have to be careful not believe your own BS. We believed our own BS and it bit us in the rear."

In the US/AW SLI a lot of guys believed their own BS. It's bit us all in the rear. In the coming months, as we enter SLI negotiations, a lot of BS will flow from BOTH sides. It's a sales job. Try not to get worked up when you see the first proposals, it's going to a panel of 3 arbitrators, and with 3 of them hopefully they will see the BS.
