It was the fact we didn't come to an agreement that USAPA wanted MB to start, and the suit was filed to make sure it did......the PA satisfies that I believe.

However, USAPA will still represent the US Airways pilots regarding the SLI until that process is completed. So USAPA will still be around for while in an official capacity.

Now, if the APA becomes our union in 4 days, our dues will then start going to them. Curious, the APA is currently having a dues holiday for the months of August, September and October. So I'm wondering if we will not have any dues taken out of our pay until November when the dues holiday is over...

We'll probably still pay, due to "programming issues."

Oh trust me, we will pay., the fact that a PA has been agreed upon by all parties, the NMB will rule, and I'm sure there was a nod and wink for the NMB to not hold an election, and just certify APA. Obviously that's the smartest thing to do, but there was some rumor of some NMB guy with an axe to grind against the APA and he might force an election for APA or no union......fun times

My understanding is USAPA will shut down ASAP but the US E/W merger committee's will remain independent from APA, but be APA members. We shall see shortly.

Per APA negotiating member in our JS last month, the dues holiday will apply to LUS pilots once APA is certified as bargaining agent. I appreciate the comedy of a being syndic, but damn it's about everything!

So, now that we have a protocol agreement, what is the next step and the time frame? Worst case, how long until the lists are integrated?

"...added that everything should theoretically be complete by 2 years after the POR, or Dec 9, 2015, as outlined in the MOU."
