Oh and you are so bright that you think the east getting 517 guys on top of the list was a bad deal for them? So mediation and arbitration said they are wrong, 3 alpa committees said they are wrong and now 9 jurors unanimously decided they are wrong in less than 60 minutes of deliberation, what are the odds that maybe the east is wrong in your opinion?
Don't put words in my mouth. I never said that the 517 East guys got screwed. I said they got a good deal, but must have saw their junior pilots got screwed. Usually in this industry the senior pilots will screw the junior ones. This is where I start to wonder if the award was fair. Those senior East pilots have nothing to lose here. So I keep asking why they think the award was bad.
So you're telling me that a pilot hired in the late 80's early 90's should be put behind a pilot hired in the 2000's?
Sounds like a screw job to me. Any other trade puts time of service above others. Electricians, etc, so why would a 1989 new hire be put behind a 2001 hire? I have no friends on either side of this, so take this as an outside look. I have nothing to gain from any outcome.
