With TWA, the entire issue depends a lot on speculation:
  • What would happen if they had just gone out of business
  • What would happen if American really would have just bought the assets without pilots
  • What would happen in bankruptcy before a Judge
I'd have fought releasing section 1 and if it happens here, I will fight it. The TWA pilots should have fought it AND if ASA can throw ALPA's attorney out of the room during final negotiations, TWA could have too.

This is kind of like two lovers fighting because the kid turned out ugly. They both knew what they were doing when the wine and roses came out.
ewwwwwwww.

And this is a placeholder. Going to look for a picture now.

This is not it... still looking... but it'll do...


maybe i read your post wrong? are you saying that you and carl are arguing over how ugly the kid turned out?

Even though management's interpretation of the weak language clearly violates intent.

That's just one example. So ACL can stop his walk to Anchorage.

Carl, both those who wrote the language have an entirely different view of it and they are (to say the least) offended by your and my criticism.

I think a big test will be the subjective weight restriction v/s Type Certificate or other objective limitation. We have what we have and we will both see how it stands up. I hope the ALPA experts are correct and it holds.

The DPA, responsibly, says that they want polling data and input before making any positions on supposed contractual language. So you and I really can't say how they would do things differently.

FTB,

Your letter said

"Second, (particularly if yours is not the stronger airline) you need to have strong Labor Protection Provisions in your contract. We consider Kevin Fitzpatrick independent and authoritative. In road shows he says our current contracts as enhanced by the proposed 5 documents will provide excellent LPPs immediately."
Where can we find these 5 documents? What do they say? Can you help?

Some google images searches can turn out very poorly.

I stumbled on this looking for the TWA thing filing:
BlueWaypoints

That's where those letters came from. I'm just re-posting.

How can anyone resist that?

It is surely a violation of the "man rules," but worse sins have been committed.

Carl;
Wrt to DAL or NWA's section one and allowing 76 seat jets. Remember that the pilots voted for this in a overwhelming majority. Spare the drama that you were give fear tactics to get the yes votes, the reality is it was voted in by the pilots. Both in CH 11 mind you.

They dang well had better be offended.. as well as embarrassed. "Oh that was in there before, just throw it in. It'll be fine."
