The judge has ordered it is the seniority list of combined USAirways pilot group (if am reading the legal stuff correctly). The only thing that has to be done is that the award is marched into the director of flight operations at USAirways with "here is our seniority list" and there you go. My understanding is that USAirways left seniority integration up to the two pilot groups. They couldn't do it. Nicalau did it for them. There is one list in existence that USAirways will have to recognize.
What kind of dog and pony show is needed for the "union" at USAirways to implement the award??
The list is already been accepted by USAIR management. It is the list at USAIR. It has no actual relevence until they have a joint contract since each side works only within their system.
The big hammer on USAPA to get a joint agreement will be how the damage award is structured. It could be ongoing until a new contract is signed which could lead to huge numbers.
