If you resd you will see thst I said each committee is for their own pilots, as it should be.
I agree that all affected pilots are entitled to representation, but should one committee be allowed to hijack the proceedings ?
Let's face it. When it comes to hijacking things like arbitrations (Nicolau and now this) mergers and their MOU's, nobody has a history like USAPA and I think they've run out of friends like airline executives, other unions, arbitrators and judges all of whom are becoming increasingly unsympathetic to this type of conduct.
One outcome (unpalatable, I agree) MAY just be that the arbitrators continue the process without East pilot representation and use what documentation is provided by the other parties to decide the fairness of the Nic and/or integration with LAA pilots or perhaps call their bluff. USAPA itself has left that door still open and may return. If that occurs and they just choose to take their ball and go home, they can sue, but 5-7 years from now, that is a real wildcard for success if you ask me.
