So now AA jumpseaters are being harassed? This deal hasn't even come close to actually occuring and US pilots are putting together combined seniority lists? Jeez.

What relevance does DOH have, anyway? Who says any of that would apply, if the merger actually occured?

This must be authentic. A hoax would not contain so many errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. :p

This post was placed today, maybe an Aa guy can verify for all of us

cactiboss inciting HATE again! let's see the link...

I doubt it. I saw the list commuting up from Miami this week. I thought it was a joke, but apparently not. Either way, it is just a pipe-dream. Does anyone really think that APA will just willingly give up a bunch of their wide-body seats to us? Really? The list I saw put our junior narrow-body Captains (bottom block-holders and reserves) able to hold 767 Captain in any base and 777 Captain in ORD or MIA. Somehow, I just don't see APA agreeing to that -- fence or no fence.

So, why is anyone even wasting the time or energy worrying about this??? As someone said above, the deal isn't even close to done yet, and we're already dividing the pilot groups over irrelevant issues...

Sometimes I think that we pilots are our own worst enemies.....

Authentic. Grammar and the like aside, as several others have posted, this "list" is out there. It has no basis in reality, just someone's wet dream. Again, shouldn't get worked up about it at this point. My advice is if someone shows you this list as anything other then amusement, you should simply laugh. This "merger" appears highly likely, but who controls it and when is still unknown. Even if it does occur, it's possible it may involve U itself being broken up. It's possible certain segments of U will be sold to others or even certain segments of AA. I don't think even the players know full well what they would have or want.

Will this be a work in progress or is someone formulating a finished product via a plan ?

If the former, it's even more likely it will morph and change as time goes on. It will take years to complete to one cohesive carrier and more then likely those who are clinging to such a list will have probably blown their brains out by then. :rolleyes:

Dude its just CACTI stirring up the pot trying to pit the east US pilots against AA and the WHOLE dam world. This dude severely needs a girlfriend. The fact is no one can predict the outcome of this transaction. Besides the inherent FLAWS that corrupted the Nic have now been fixed. 3 arbiters composing a list that will be based on Mac/Bond. The final product will be binding on all THREE groups.
As in all walks of life, there are those that choose to stir the pot and bring chaos and uncertainty to events that no one can predict. Besides, if the Mayans are correct, that 7 year fence, and the whole merger thing will be moot.:D

Ummm, dude............isn't this what I've been saying ?


Not sure what you're referring to here.

My understanding is that the internal U list will be one list prior to any SLI process with AA and then THAT merger SLI will be binding on ONE group......that being AA pilots represented by the APA, that group comprising of former US Airways pilots in the seniority order of that one U list submitted prior to the merger SLI process.

I think that 12/21 drop dead date (for us all) has already been debunked. ;)

What about the girlfriend thing... You do agree with me right?
