Well hope USAPA has some deep pockets. Can't wait to see the East guys take the Arbitration award to court to get it tossed out and the West sues them over this. Guess no contract till, 20??.

Hope the East guys enjoy giving their paychecks for all the attorney fees. I can't believe any large amount of West guys would join the Union. You get the same contract and payrates, irregardless of belonging to the union. Just don't get protection of the union. In this case probably would not be a bad thing, since USAPA would sell a West pilot down the road tommorrow.

US Airways management just gained a large upper hand. The next two years everyone start considering a new career other than US Airways, since the East guys have proven they will destroy company and take their careers with them. They could care aless about a paycheck.

Should be interesting when these East guys have to start over at another carrier at the bottom of the list.
