Real union? Yeah sure "Tim is ALPA". You need to use your imagination a little with respect to our merger. Bringing together different groups which were independently at different "levels" combined with some groups bringing pilots but no planes is a little complicated. What's right and fair is very subjective. I wonder how well the dal/nw merger would have gone if the nw pilots were joining the dal list without bringing any jets with them?

:D

Darn you! I just had a bunch of soda come out my nose!

ALPO? A real union? HA!

Little bit of a difference chief when we have the IBT, FAPA & ALPA all coming to the table with major differences and some with planes and some without. How's the Airways merger going there chief?

NWA/DAL were similar groups with both airlines hiring at merger time. It was a pretty straight forward merger. I wouldn't give ALPA too much credit in that situation.

Heard Lynx just called furloughees with Mandatory Recall this week.

The Master Seniority List will be probably be completed by the arbitrator in the Fall.

The list will not actually be effective until 1)The NMB decides that RAH/F9 constitute a Single Transportation System and 2)A Representation Election is held, and 3)a new CBA is ratified.

Try the search function at the top since it's been discussed in both the major and regional sections.

....... dupe

Hard to ratify a new CBA without #1.
