American and US Airways pilots reach deal
 

on seniority

News for September 4th, 2014 | Airline Pilot Info

Sounds like a deal on the process of seniority integration, not a seniority list.

Don't worry, they'll manage to drag it out, screw it up, and generally poison the well for years to come.

And comments and attitudes like the above help that entire process out. Loosen the liberty tie and move on!

Oh, I'm just interested in the train wreck aspect of it.

The agreement was for site selection of a 3-way railroad junction in a valley surrounded by 3 mountains of equally steep grade so track could be laid downslope in order for the three trains to meet at equally high speed.

^^^^ like ^^^^

Still awaiting US Forest Service permitting for the 500 Jato bottles to be attached at the end of each train.

Same goes for the liquor permit for the wine tasting event held for the senior 5% of pilots at each airline at the viewing bleachers near the junction, and the traffic priority for the 3rd wives shopping trip over the emergency vehicles transporting the carcasses of the junior pilots to the trauma centers.

Back home they call that "Mexican Overdrive." Although technically you have to be in neutral and just let gravity do it's thing.

If the US Air and Am West merger is any testament to things, the above statement is very true!

What could possibly go wrong?

It's been a long, strange trip and I imagine the train has a few more curves to manage. I hope this PA put it on the right track.

I thought for sure this would drag on for at least another year.
Glad to see both sides put on their big boy pants and get it done.
