Digesting the various comments, statements and positions on the various forums, it appears the majority of APA is in sync with the majority of pilots (including pre-merger AA, West and much of the East). It appears that sentiment is that the present demands by Parker for sooner and slightly larger pay rate changes in exchange for concessions that mostly pay for them are unacceptable vs. the MOU provisions that were "gotten" by APA.

Thus, barring acceptable movement from Parker, we'll likely be in an arbitration situation within 2 weeks. Considering such a possibility, pilot unity is critical. It's understood that a certain percentage of senior East hardcore anti-APA USAPA pilots (AKA "Usapians") aren't on-board with the group (because they never were), but the remaining majority must not allow either management or these self-serving, ax-grinding pilots assisting management (whether they realize or accept it or not) to divide us.

JCBA unity among those outside this subversive group is essential.
