No worries, mate. He knows nothing of my past, my abilities (or flaws) or potential. I think he simply has nowhere of credibility to go, so apparently this is all that's left. Resorting to not only baseless personal attack, but irrelevant to the discussion at that, simply proves my assertions about his character. Next he'll claim my mother wears Army boots as if that would also be somehow relevent.

 

Thank you for the nomination. I am truly humbled.

 

I guess it's possible but I doubt it. Relative equipment and status seems to see the preferred method. Dal was a younger workforce than NWA yet the arbitrator didn't take that into account that I know of.

 

Eaglefly is right on this. Starting with the Nic would put large numbers of relatively young guys at higher relative positions, slowing the progression of those AA slotted below them vs. starting with DOH or a 3 way.

 

My problem with you is your arrogant and condensing attitude towards US pilots, not your opinion on fences. YOU made it personal with "drooling " and "worth squat ". Look in the mirror.

On the Nic you ignore what came first, the TA. You won't answer my question. If this merger gave you a lousy outcome on the SLI,and the company was offering a lousy contract that would implement it, would you vote yes for it when you didn't have to? That's what we faced, no matter what method we used.

 

Ahh, let's review this without emotion. The "drooling" comment wasn't directed at ALL U East pilots, but if you review the thread SOME do advocate no fences more than gleefully, which given the situation is difficult to ignore. Addmittedly, I occasionally forget just how hypersensitive Airlinii Pilotus can be, so perhaps I should have used a different description, but I didn't paint with a broad brush. The "worth squat" (actually, it was "jack squat") comment was a reply to an officially recognized tool (as of yesterday) who claims I've neither earned my job, nor contributed to the health of my parent corporation or for that matter to AA and am essentially a carpet-bagger and has nothing to offer but ever increasing levels of personal attack.

"Arrogance" is a perception that is often in error and especially on the internet, hypersensitivity can alter perception. Disagreement is one thing, personal attack the other. I've never "condensed" U pilots and in the arrogance department, you've excelled with superiority on this forum, so it surprises me it's you who claims this insult.

The Nic came before the merger announcement, it's just the union you support wants to convince others it doesn't exist as if that is somehow reality. USAPA was formed for ONLY ONE REASON and that was to subvert the binding arbitration process that was agreed to, but whose outcome wasn't favorable to the majority and that is the ONLY reason the Nic doesn't yet exist as the sole U seniority list. In effect, you want me to agree to what is realy a strawman argument. You're arguing a position that is a magic act demanding I look stage left, so as not to notice the actual trick occuring on stage right.

I'm sorry, but I was never much of a fan of magicians.

 

Wow, the two heavyweight are finally going at it (eaglefly, R57 Relay). This could get interesting.

 

LOL !!!

I have no desire to spar with anyone. Never thought of myself as a "heavyweight" either, but thanks for the sentiment. R57's a pretty smart guy (more informed then me on many subjects), so depending on the subject, I doubt you'd get a clear victor oberall. My knowledge of USAPA just spins my moral compass too wildly to believe in their course. At any rate, it shouldn't be too long before a definitive resolution to this conundrum occurs, but then we'll have to invent a new conflict to keep the fireworks going.

Perhaps an announcement of the acquisition of Jet Blue BEFORE the AA/U SLI is arbitrated. Wouldn't THAT be a hoot ?

 

So tell US mighty eaglefly... In the grand scheme of things. Once OUR AA/US SL is arbitrated and award announced, would you accept a number junior to a US new hire currently in our last new hire class?? Now be truthful to yourself and all that lurk here..You have obviously picked sides in OUR little tug of war. Something tells me you may have an acquaintance on the west list...Or perhaps your alliance to Mr. Nicolau and/or ALPO is stronger than your logic. After all, he too handed you a golden ticket..
Yours truly TOOL..

 

Do you two realize you are wasting our time... if you want to argue do it via private message. Otherwise we all just have to scroll down through the immaturity.

This thread is supposed to be about fleet basing post merger, not two guy's egos.
