Typhoon,

I will respect your differences. just trying to get the requisite 10 posts to PM Koru on this site... which I learned is now 25.

Just three things to remember:

1. One foot on the banana peel and the other in the grave for the east at time of merger. Days from liquidation.

2. West pilots that were within months of being upgraded now are looking at 20 yrs. in the right seat.

3. The arbitrator made his decision and USAPA is trying to trick it by decertifying ALPA and overturning the award. Most neutral observers see it for what it is, including the arbitrator and panel of neutrals.

I will say no more. Good luck to you.
