You might want to look in the mirror this time which you NEVER do and continue to bring up the treatment of USAPA East pilots yet FAIL to condemn your own.
Let this be a LESSON to the new hires that anything other than LOS will simply divide, conquer and DISSOLVE the labor union movement which has happened here at American.
The day pilots QUIT blaming others and look at the way THEY do business will change happen. Until then I expect the same response from WD and the same BLAME GAME that always happens here.
I will say this one more time and then I am done on the subject. I am man that says exactly what I mean. The bottom line is we had and agreement plain and simple to turn all over to the arbitrator and WHAT EVER he decided that was to be the end of it. No more fuss no more haggling just final and binding arbitration. We all knew going in what it could mean and we were fine with that. The east did not honor its end of the deal and we have to this day a colossal fking mess. We have property that has 2yr capts and 15yr first officer! We have a property with 2yr wide body first officers and 15yr guys and gals that cant bid them.
I have no idea how this new SLI will work and won't even pretend like that I have the first GDam clue. It is a truly a fking mess. Now my only beef is that if you say you are going to do something that you DO IT. I have many times in life where I said I would do something and when the time came I dreaded the day but I still did what I said i would do regardless if the fact that I did not like OR agree with it.
Now I if I have to be insulted for this view then please keep that to yourself.
