I don't see where you answered a single question here its just all double talk. Yes I agree you should get off the subject because you have no idea what the hell you are even talking about. Just another programmed robot from the east machine.

Not even an option coming that arbitration award and we have zero reason to do so. Now you get a court to force us off then you may have something however outside of that its NIC or die.

And your wrong on your final statement there. YOU have to get a court to get us off DOH. I believe that's how it works. In fact, the only two decisions standing right now, have unequivocally stated that USAPA is free to do as they want.

THEN you gotta get the court to believe and agree to your claims of a DFR. Wake doesn't count. Obviously he was overturned.......

Have a good one WD.....

While I choose not adopted the "we'll be taking over soon" mentality, I'm not surprised many senior FOs who have been frozen for 7 years on the West are getting pretty tired of the smug attitude of many of your coworkers.

I do find it pretty hard to believe a West pilot suggested we could (should?) hold nearly 1000 wide body captain seats. That's so mathematically impossible even a complete moron would find that laughable.



That is a pretty fair and reasonable assessment. If memory serves me correctly, we were ratio-ed about 1 West pilot to 2 East pilots in the narrow body ranks. Right now I can theoretically hold Captain in 2 East bases because the guy adjacent to me on the Nic can. However.....had it been implemented, I have the majority of West FOs above me who would have possibly taken a third of the available slots....meaning I wouldn't actually have the seniority to upgrade. On the bright side, when I DO upgrade, I expect I'll already have a significant number of East pilots below me on the seniority list so I won't have to sit reserve.

With that said, I have better things to do most of the time than get on web boards and lash out at everyone about what I should or shouldn't be entitled to. Life's too short and I have a little kid at home who is a lot more fun than sitting at the computer arguing. I only responded to Crazy's post because I really hate seeing blatant garbage posted with the intent of mis-informing the AA pilots about our current situation. I already get enough calls from AA buddies asking me about, "what this Captain I just flew with had heard". The amount of miss information is really quite amazing.

Not one of you wants to take responsibility for your actions and extremely poor decisions. The world already knows what the east has done so not worried that the AA pilots don't know. In the future if you're going to spread lies at the very least have some proof to back your **** up.
