Agreed. That's a huge issue for me personally and I've let our MC know this. Our third list pilots are symbolic to the success of the new U.S. Airways, you demonstrate unequivocally the trajectory our company was on, in sharp contrast to where AA was heading. Our witnesses will reaffirm this as well with their testimony and hammer the point home with the arbitrators.
I am shocked AAPSIC proffered the list which they did- their tail end is a complete abortion- Eagle flows who never stepped foot in a AA cockpit ahead of our 3rd listers! *** are they smoking?
Our attorney, Jeff Freund, is well versed in this area, he destroyed the CAL proposal which attempted the exact same thing against United. I really do not think you have much to worry about, the final SLI will probably look more like the West proposal, perhaps a few relative percentage points lower but still a lot closer than the AAPSIC proposal.
