As a result? What result should rob a pilot of their years of service? Are you advancing that, in truth, that a pilot who works for a smaller airline with no wide bodies, no international presence should be awarded greater seniority to longer tenured pilots with wide body flying? That’s the rules? No wonder our younger pilots are driving for change. What’s happened here is wrong. What’s happened to the TWA pilots is wrong. We all know it. Yet-we’re casting these wrong principals on our next generation. ALPA nor APA is the answer. A new union needs to be formed and moved forward. Clean slate. Shame on the rest.
Each party (APA/East/West) had their opportunity to present their position to the arbitrators. There were public hearings in which you could watch the discussion of various positions/solutions to the list were presented, and argued, by the 3 parties. The biggest decider, as recent merger history has provided to include DL/NW, was 'career expectations' which basically came down to earnings potential. It hasn't been DOH for over 40 years. You disagree. The industry, arbitrators, court system, and unions disagree with you and have for over 40 years.
