maybe they should move on.
Seriously, you really want to keep working off of three separate lists for years on end that are continuously suing each other? Barring any windfalls (which I don't think will happen given the history of SLI arbitrations in recent years), we really do need to just move on or else this place will be ridiculous to work for.

If it did devolve to that, I would definitely consider moving on. I mean who the hell really wants to work for such a dysfunctional organization?

Which one is it?
I won't make a definitive statement, but take a look at the LAA proposal at around the 13500 mark. There you will find a current LUS CLT group 2 captain, DOH 9/87, who is about 200#s away from the bottom group 3 captain, placed behind a 737 F/O with a 12/2013 DOH.

Some could see that as a little off...

That's the beauty of the SLI hearings, each group gets to present different solutions and the arbitrators try to reach a deal that addresses the majority while realizing individuals can't be protected.

Let's hope so. That example wasn't a one off.

The merger closed 12/2013. Is it rational to you to put a ln AA 12/2013 new hire ahead of a group 2 CA? You are usually spot on slice. Kind of surprised to hear this from you.

Al I don't think he was taking one position over another, merely stating that this is a "group" solution and some will be unhappy upon implementation.

I support the process. Not sure I'll like the outcome but no one is getting their dream solution.

I also support the AASLIC proposal. It's primarily about dollars. Guys bid for dollars.

What's not mentioned in the complaints about one proposal is the weaknesses of another proposal, like furloughees that went to another list in the merger coming back 1000-1500(?) numbers more senior then their classmates. So is the CA being used above the outcome of correcting some other flaw? IDK. That's why they had hearings in front of guys who've done SLI's before. They'll hack their way through the data and try and come up with a solution.

Here's what I suspect is happening to the CA example being given - it's a result of using the NIC. The NIC places younger AWA guys further up the list. To avoid the AA pilots being hurt by the NIC fallout the entire NIC list has to be pushed lower.

If the arbitrators look at the NIC biased result they might decide, as they can, that using the NIC as a baseline doesn't work.

The AASLIC pilots position has always been - don't punish our list trying to correct problems with the NIC.

It should be noted that the arbitrators still have AAPSIC's initial non-NIC proposal as background to compare their revised NIC based alterations for consideration into AAPSICs thinking. The foundation is the fact 3 separate pre-merger lists were inexistence that right or wrong, good or bad, highlighted 3 different sets pre-merger career expectations based on the immutable fact that absent this merger, the NIC would not be in use today at a stand alone US Airways.

By default I'm a glass half empty person... But on this subject I've got a descent feeling

1. This is happening in the wake of three other large mergers. I'm confident that this arbitration has learned from the others.

2. The proposed lists have gotten everyone rolling their eyes. If everyone here is rolling eyes I would imagine arbitrators are as well.... Essentially it creates dialogue and that's always a good thing to have in negotiations, get it all out on the table so nothing's missed.

3. I would however be concerned if everyone was happy with each other. I've been to those family reunions and you'd better watch out bc there's probably a knife at your back waiting for you to lean back.
