As we all know, whether you are an East or West Pilot, the principles and purpose set forth by the United Pilots are the cornerstone of the US Airline Pilots Association.
So seniority
is the cornerstone of USAPA...that says it all. I have heard it said before in other posts, but finally I see it in writing myself from USAPA.
I'll stick with the cornerstone of ALPA: safety first. That doesn't mean I don't agree with the resolution UAL has put forth.
