Time to move on. Everybody wants to tell me their heartbreaking story and justify their anger, yet nobody ever asked me the crap I went through.
Regarding the list, there is a approximately 200 number difference between East and West, and a 1700 number fifference between East and APA.
USAPA? Different name, same crap. Unions are unions, althogh I am VERY disappointed with APA, mainly because of the j/s issue and their $3600 dinner feast.
* this was my personal experience. I am not taking any sides.
*You say this was your experience and it disappoints me greatly to hear. I have a good friend at Piedmont who commutes cross country who has J/S'ed and been given the cold shoulder by occasional West crews who thought he was East. Unless you were one of the USAPA ringleaders, I think there's no defendable reason to treat a fellow pilot with anything but courtesy and respect. I'm looking forward to putting the last 8 years behind me.
