To go around McCaskill-Bond, the APA would need the support of management. In my opinion, there is too much money on the line for management to take sides. My guess is you will go to arbitration, and get an equipment merger exactly like every other merger.

I hope everyone gets a "fair" deal, but that's not going to happen because the achievement of that subjective concept depends on ones expectations. I know on the AA side expectations vary pretty wildly as plenty on this side have trust issues with APA too and others are convinced exactly how it will go down (which is kinda ridiculous considering the fickleness of arbitrators). The PROCESS is all that can be controlled to the fair and equitable ideal, if arbitrated the result is anyone's guess.

Well, according to the MOU, management is required to remain neutral regarding actual order of the list.

I don't see how this can happen. The MOU requires a "McCaskill-Bond" process and if negotiations fail, then arbitration decides. To say what you imply will occur, is basically saying there is no such thing as McCaskill-Bond. The critical aspect is NOT the presence of two unions, it's the assurance of a process whereby ALL parties have the opportunity to negotiate and should that fail, to present their positions to neutral arbitrators.

The APA and USAPA both know that the key is to tie it up in the courts indefinitely... and to listen to the melodious west whining as the DOH clock tics along.

Well said TWA. Everyone thinks they deserve better than DOH.
I expect much less, so the longer this gets delayed the better.
Cacti, you are a great source of amusement, you are 757 International Captain with a 1998 hire. You expect APA to merge you in with there 1990 hire captains.
LOL

A perfect example of just how every merger and SLI is different and thus unpredictable. To listen to many Usapains, they think that this merger/SLI is or should be a mimic of the UAL/CAL deal and this merger SLI is just as different from theirs as is SWA/AT is from ours.
Was the SWA/AT SLI negotiated or arbitrated ?
