Somewhat seperate. Both are unfair to US Airlines and labor. On that note, I wonder if A4A would join us, seeing how both are being hurt by this.

In fact, the "joint filing" by AMR, UAL, LCC, and DAL make reference to specific arguments made in the ALPA filing on NAI. |

Yes. A4A is in support of both issues.

I wonder what kind of pilot will apply for this job?
1) A desperate one, one that is stuck at a low paying regional? 2) One with lots of skeletons in the closet? 3) One that really wants to fly a 787? Truly amazing how our industry is slowly but surely going the way of the cruising world. I hope all of these petitions and calls to actions will be heard. TEN |

What is the pay? Reading through the contract it provides a better QOL than about 90% of US regional jobs. The majority of regional pilots are currently desperate AND stuck at a low paying job (which regional isn't low paying?)
In order to work for this company, a pilot has to have an EASA certificate. Not too many US regional pilots possess, or are in a position to acquire one. |

I remember about 8 years ago, Aer Lingus and United entered into a similar arrangement. At the end of the day... what happened? It wasn't the protests that shot the arrangement down... pure economics.

If ALPA and US Airline management thought this was a a real threat and wanted to keep US experienced pilots from joining the ranks of places like this they would work to provide livable wages for skilled US pilots and paths to a true career job. As it stands now why would a regional pilot not go work for an airline that is going to pay them a more reasonable salary and provide for a better QOL? And how is this any different, in theory, from all the outsourcing currently going on domestically in the US. You can't have it both ways, be for outsourcing domestically when it benefits you (provides your company with huge profits and bonus checks) but then against it internationally when it could potentially threaten your career.
