Sorry TP, but until you become more than just an avatar, you still don't count.
This message board may be broad and diverse, but it's still an anonymous message board and as such, attracts a certain type of person and opinion. It is by no means a fair or random cross section of all dues paying union professional aviators.
My experience has been that among non-anonymous real people who make a living flying airplanes for major US carriers, they are dumbfounded by the actions of the East community of US Airways.
I've also found that the only people who can't calmly discuss this issue are the former US Air guys.

Here is one example:
They would not have suddenly displaced AWA Captains. To state that is untrue and misleading. For about the 50th time on this board I'll mention that the AAA proposal had fences in the form of min captain positions for AWA pilots that lasted until the year 2014. In which time, by the way, 2000 AAA pilots will be gone.
You're quoting out of context. My statement about displacing AmWest pilots was in response 41DS's post and to the to the many others in this thread in favor of pure DOH merging.
Nothing I've said here is false. I have no reason to be prejudicial. I work for a different airline and only casually know a couple AmWest pilots.
I think it's also clear, if you step back from the computer for just a second, that 90% of the emotion in this argument is on the US Air side. That much is conceded only a page or two back.
