If I recall CORRECTLY the BPR overwhelmingly VOTED FOR MOU II.
The APA BOD voted for CLA II and MOUII.
Captain Bates, Neil Roghair (and the present Captain Wilson) went BEHIND USAPA's BACK and told us to STICK IT because THEY KNEW BETTER and Parker was their MAN! I SAW those three COWARDS at the USAPA meeting. PITIFUL! DISGRACEFUL!
Now the DFW and CLT reps are somehow crying foul for NOT DOING THEIR HOMEWORK and blaming.....PARKER? You mean, when the LUS pilots VOTED IN THE MOU II?
BTW, the CLT reps aren't giving YOU APA pilots much credit for the "MERGER":
"In
April of 2012 when USAirways and APA agreed to and executed Conditional Labor Agreement and Plan of Reorganization Agreement- (CLAII) oil was at a multi-year high. Furthermore, the pricing power and synergies of industry consolidation had not taken effect since the AA-US merger was the last piece of the puzzle. The industry landscape was totally different then. Management did what they always do. They locked in bankruptcy era working conditions and cost structure while they had the opportunity, all the while playing the role of the white knight. Remember, this was all done under the threat of the 1113 bankruptcy process alternative and the LUS pilots were dragged along with them.
To highlight the lack of input afforded the LUS pilots, the APA (different BOD) negotiated away our profit sharing for a mere $12 million value. That is the equivalent of when the Dutch bought Manhattan Island from the Indians for $24 and a bunch of beads. The most appalling part was that the media was comparing Mr. Parker to Herb Kelleher!"
The APA has to be THE DUMBEST PILOT GROUP IN THE INDUSTRY!
BAR NONE!
I know where this is going. ARBITRATION.
Good. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to that "pilot leverage" you're going to have if you don't get your way.
New hire pilots BEWARE! Who is REALLY doing you a service?
Me telling THE FACTS AND THE TRUTH or
these two guys leading you down the path of woe and pity. It doesn't affect you much this year or next, but in four years it will.
