Come on.....tell the APA to stick it to the company, you anti-union slackers!

Based on what you SEEM to be implying, you don't have to honor a deal if you think you can get something better. Is that it? Why would any group agree to ANY arrangement with pre AWA/US merger East pilots? (I'm not finger pointing at that third list guys, they've been held hostage by both pilot groups AND management throughout this entire debacle)



Listening to USAPA loving East pilots complain about the West is much like listening to a guy explain how his wife is to blame for the beatings he gives her. You're blaming the West for the injunction? USAPA started an illegal job action without even attempting to get the West pilot's support. Remember the "Good Union Pilot" lanyards the East made to show solidarity against management? Not one West pilot was ever given one of those. Some guys asked and were told they couldn't have one. Some "Union".

Also, make sure you tell your new APA friends about the baseless legal filings USAPA made against the Cactus 19 and..what was it, "100 unnamed defendants"..in the event anyone else spoke out against them. Some of our guys paid big bucks out of pocket to defend against that garbage. And before you start making the "Yeah, but" excuses about how big bad West pilots were hurting USAPA's feelings, remember that case got thrown out TWICE, and the second time with prejudice. It was nothing more than an intimidation tactic undertaken by a representational union against it's members. Keep that in mind next time you complain about APA not pandering to you.

Absolutely, and anyone who disagrees needs to pull their head out of their ass because the initial proposal is a NET LOSS.

Did I just agree with eagleflyboy, must be the jet lag.

He then complains about the west because he knows that once that arbitration result is honored he spends the rest of his career on res. Nothing he says is even worth the time of day. Hypocrite to end and this why many here refuse to even respond to him.

WD at AWA

(That's the sound of me not feeling particularly sorry for you and you brothers)
