Your airline bought mine, but I'm an inferior pilot and should be laid-off instead of you, even though I was probably flying jets at a major before you had your private. You're merely displaying your sense of entitlement the more you try and make your point.

Bond/McCaskill was created because of AA/APA/ALPA and their subversive behavior and seperate agenda during the AA/TWA 'un'integration, simply put.

What is ironic in all this, especially in your description above, is that APA fought VEHEMENENTLY to deny TWA pilots arbitration of ANY kind, binding especially.

To answer your question: Furloughs should have been FAIRLY distributed, if 2890 were furloughed, half from AA, half from TWA. The percentages would STILL disadvantage the TWA pilots and give a windfall to AA's!
