It's a fight about seniority that won't impact you but you might have to listen to various versions of 'what should have been done' for decades.
Exactly! Well said!

Actually that's not correct. It does impact plenty of new hirers at LUS. Just ask all the pilots commuting from west coast cities to the East.....and now east coast cities to PHX. So to say it does impact new hirers is false. I knew what I was getting and moved across the country. Some people do not have that options and endure LONG commutes they might not have to while a bunch old men fight.

There are a lot PHX-CLT commuters waiting for this thing to end. However, I just met 2 new hirers who are commuting CLT-PHX. Again, because of ****ing match between a bunch of chest thumpers, they can't even bid to a city their own company has a domicile. It's time to end this S h I t once and for all

The Nicolau award was accepted in writing by Doug Parker it was suppose to be a final and binding arbitration. The east pilots threw out Alpa to prevent its implementation.

This thing better get approval, or it's going to be a long ugly ride
You missed his point. He's talking about those hired after Dec. 9th, 2013. He's talking about the fact that we're DOH on the bottom therefor we have no dog in the SLI fight. Yes the 9+ year war has impacted us but only that we cannot bid across the sides (exception being as a new hire, if we were lucky we had a choice). But once again the poster is referring to the SLI which is truly between the East, West and American. We just have to wait for the award / integration then sit back and respectfully listen to all you talk about how you got screwed.

And by "they" I meant the Easties. They are who I'm referring too, they never accepted it and moved on.

Yes, I believe you are correct...I almost fell over laughing at that one myself... "Lets just let the arbitrators do their job and we can all move on"...an instant classic, too funny.

Why? That's all that had to happen. The Nic came out and just as EVERYONE else in every other merger this decade has done, they should have accepted it and moved on. But now the Easties don't have numbers on their side. Now they're scared of AA doing to them what they did to the Westies. Karma right. Only American can pull that kind of ****, but I hope they just accept it and move the hell on. I hope they act like adults, only time will tell. Unfortunately I don't expect much since pilots are among the biggest babies I've ever met. Bunch of entitled prima donna's who talk a big game about unity but will eat each others young over seniority.

"pre-madonna's" ? ...was that before or after Madonna was with A-Rod? (sorry, couldn't resist, I have a higher view of my fellow pilots, love your avatar though)
