December 8th
Looks like December 8th is the big day...glad they didn't pick the 7th.
Fellow Northwest Pilots,
Today a written request from the seniority arbitration panel was accepted by the parties.
The net effect to the pilots is that the arbitration panel will announce the seniority award
and opinion on the same day, December 8, 2008.
The original timeline called for an award to be published on November 20, 2008 and the
opinion on December 20, 2008. The last arbitration hearing day is scheduled for
November 17, 2008. This would give the arbitrators only 3 days to confer and reach a
decision in order to meet the November 20 deadline.
At the arbitrators' request, the date for the award and opinion was combined on December
8, 2008. This adjustment in the timeline was accepted by both Northwest and Delta
ALPA and Delta giving the arbitrators the additional time they requested to produce a fair
and equitable seniority award.

Sorry for the massive thread creep! Saw on another category thread about UPT changes over the years. I would have to agree. My Guard unit in Ohio became an RTU in the viper a few yrs. back and noticed a big change in the "SNAP" pilots they were training. They don't make 'em like they used to. BTW, I was Willie 83-01 Raindance and Boomer, probably the best yr. of my life!!! Ah, Willie by the sea. Whenever UPT comes up in discussion, I always say, "I went to Willie, I thought everybody else did. also. I didn't know there were other UPT bases.
Good luck to us all

Still miss Willie. I'm an Ariz boy, went to ASU, even extended a year for a stan/eval position. Five years there counting my student time, couldn't have been much better.......ok, maybe a Luke assignment
I would have been just across the hall from you in John Black flt during that time period. My first student (Mike Sanders) was an Ohio guard guy, and a long story but I was offered an A-7 job in one of the units in Ohio in '85 but went to an Eagle assignment instead.
Good luck and hope to meet all you guys on here after the smoke clears. We can all wear nametags at a mini APC reunion.....probably in ATL when we're there for southern charm school

Small world! Mike is one of my best buds as he was a Guard baby in the A-7 unit (Rickenbacker) that I got my Project Season assignment in. Mike's a 22+ yr. USAir guy and would trade places with us in a second! You should have taken the Ohio guard job in '85, it
would have kept you out of the Eagle!!! I later flew the viper and brother (Willie 82-06) was an Eagle guy at Langley and Kef.
Cheers,
Cog
