Everyone at US can expect NB upgrade in 5 years. Access to widebody within 3.

I think eaglefly might be sorely disappointed with his suggested SLI methods.

This is correct:

a319 upgrade may drop to 5 years soon.

e190 upgrade may drop to 2 years soon.

With all the BS that is being posted. Here is some more:
USAPA for starters should show a copy of the TWA staple arguments. The reasoning for the staple was "TWA was a failing carrier and belongs on the bottom." AA is now the failing carrier and the AWA pilots rescued them. Because AWA rescued them they deserve super seniority.
DOH with fences maybe looking better all the time.

Good to see someone has the official word. Now all you have to do is send a certified letter to Parker and the APA.

LOL !

Just ran through this thread from the start and count a half dozen alone right here. Don't worry though, when the Nic hits the table in arbitration, it prolly won't hurt you too bad.

Fences go both ways. One problem with them is that it looks like there may be massive amounts of equipment shifts with this merger. I don't care if I fly an A320 now, and then an A330/A350 someday(what we brought) or a 737-800 now and a 777/787 someday(what you bring), BUT I want to do it in CLT and not DFW, ORD, JFK or MIA.

I don't think you can make proclamations about fences until you see what the SLI looks like. Then the fences should prohibit anyone from getting a windfall at the expense of others. Something Nic didn't do.

And BTW, starting the SLI with AA with the Nic wouldn't hurt me too bad. Sorry to disappoint.

Pilots never learn from their mistakes. Crap like "drooling" needs to be left our of the discussion because I'm not drooling over any bases or equipment you guys brought to the merger. I'd be just happy with the progression I would have at US, Nic or not. All comments like that do is make the business of a SLI personal.
