The West begged to have the "final and binding" subject to contingencies, and then they didn't want to live by their word and the contingencies that came about. Hypocrites.

Those that abide by the law will be happy. Those that fight it will fight a vain fight.

The courts don't like to interfere in negotiations so they generally do not allow a DFR case unless the negotiations are over. So the East has continually proposed solutions that are clear violations of the DFR, but they have never been able to close the deal, therefore the courts say "Not Yet".

In their continual lunacy, the East pilots claim this as a legal victory. It is not, the string is running out. Both the APA and AMR management want nothing to do with inheriting the liability for the insane plans of the East pilots to avoid the arbitrated list. What you see now are the desperate final death throes of USAPA and their twisted view of the world. No one will miss them. In the end, they will be crushed and then a bunch of East pilot leaders will have a lot of splainin to do. It is just sad that these few people dragged down their entire pilot group with them.

No one has to like it, but legal efforts opposed to reality are both costly and futile.

My original message was a mobile phone typo: "Please, please don't label whole groups of people..."




Mobile phone typo ?

Please.........or should I say, "PLease,

Please ?

I've made those and we all make those, but two capitals, THEN a comma followed THEN by a large paragraphical gap ?

Uh-huh, sure.........we both know that wasn't any "typo". If you do some research on other threads, you'll find similar failed attempts to intimidate me by erroneous outing including initials and even nicknames, but at least they were honest about what they were trying to do and not hiding behind baloney like that.

.....and you wonder why I come to some of the conclusions I do ?

Let's take a step back from the Westicals, East Hole, Usapaian mantras.




While were improving our emotional intelligence, how about addressing our ethical standards ?

I've stated this before, but I've met many apparently decent pilots from both sides of the US Airways fence, so I have nothing against any "group" per se and all of those I've met were present USAPA members.
