Just curious. Did you quit Arik Air, or just fly out your contract? Saw a Arik Air A340 in JFK a few weeks ago. Was there a chance for you to go to that eventually, or were the domestics ops run separately?

I'm surprised this hasn't been picked up by any of the TV News services.

I'm sure USAPA has a plan to defend Captain's Authority.
After all, an "Independent Union" has so much more clout!

This really shouldn't even be a union issue. Three crews refused to take it until it was fixed. That's saying something.

Remember folks, all BAD things begin at Airways and then trickle throughout the industry (loss of pensions) etc. Captains AUTHORITY, should and WILL be protected at all cost. Today its US tomorrow will be YOU..Its not about contractual issues, its about managements attempt at stripping the Captain's authority with intimidation and harrasment. CAPTAINS AUTHORITY, The last and final hindrance at maximizing profits at the expense of SAFETY..

I wouldn't go on an Atlantic crossing at night without an APU. No way. Forget it.

I'm out on loss of medical, so I don't know what happened. It's just really unfortunate it had to go so far as making it in to USA Today.

A position that clearly separates you and some others here from the keyboard geniuses who have never made the crossing...day or night.
