AA/US-AW. Now the fun begins.

The proposals and briefs are out on the APA website. Just stay away from C&R when you go there.

I'm talking about the final award.

I'm talking about the final award.

There is no such thing as a "final award" for East pilots.

Delaying as long as humanly possible is not good for us (despite what the CLT 99 hires say). Remember, all the MTA Block Hour restrictions go away at the end of 2016. You don't think Dougie and Scooter will take apart the former USAir piece by piece just to make a point?

You know, I THOUGHT there was that restriction in place but I couldn't find anyone that knew what I was talking about.

ALPA has never had a DOH merger policy.

USAPA has

Dang right.
It's not a "jrafical interchange format".

Silver ruled. East can argue what they want.

Seems like a smart move. The east will have no beef post award.

I just hope it means we can all move on and get this over with before Parker decides to dismantle what's left of USAir before we're put together with our "superiors".

It has been strangely quiet on C&R from the usual suspects, though. I wonder if they're sleeping it off.

TWA was minutes away from liquidating. AA essentially bought the assets but were nice and brought the pilots with them. Similar to what Republic did with Midwest Express.

It's extremely sad that one's choice decades ago impacts your long term career but without a national seniority system, it won't change. In a way, ALPA used to have a defacto national seniority list as their merger policy was always DOH but was changed for political gain years ago.

Well, at least you didn't say Midwest Airlines was actually in bankruptcy. Most people do. The acquisition by Republic was a result of debt/cash ratio, much of which was owed to Republic.
