LOA 93, which is the East contract has nothing of value in it to use as a basis for a joint contract.

I expect to see this go down similarly to the Delta merger. The AA pilots will get a new contract soon with whatever pay rates and productivity issues that have been agreed to with Parker. Then the LCC pilots will be given a take it or leave it deal on signing the contract. As long as the SLI process is done under binding arbitration there will be 1800 West votes to join the APA, thus nullifying the East.

Kirby said over a month ago that the lesson learned from the failed attempt to merge with Delta was that you have to get labor on board. I guess they learned their lesson.

The one item with strength in the East contract has...is scope/fragmentation! The rest, basically sucks.

Could also be Parker playing bait-'n-switch with APA. He who dines with an airline CEO should use a long spoon.

What are the possibilities that if the East boys don't accept the Nic award that Parker goes Gary Kelly on the East folks?

Not seeing your logic here. The West boyz have already accepted or will accept the Nic. So how can Parker go all GK on them if they are willing to go along with it???
