I am not sure a lot of thought went into USAPA.

I nominate this for understatement of the year.

What punitive action can United ALPA take in the SLI process. Can they single out USAPA east guys and take care of west? This will be incredibly interesting.

You can bet that they'll be scheming pretty hard to figure out how to best position themselves to screw the East pilots. Remember, this isn't the first time that UAL pilots have been pissed off at AAA pilots. UAL had to get the ALPA Merger Policy changed because AAA pilots were talking about stapling UAL pilots and taking their widebody flying during the last two merger talks in the '90s and '00s. The East guys have been consistently insane when it comes to SLI. I guarantee the UAL pilots will take great joy in pushing as many East pilots to the bottom of the seniority list as possible.

I would seriously love to see Airways knock the scope back down to 70 seats. Hell, I'd like to see it back down to 50 seats. Does that mean that you (and maybe us) and several other companies are going to either have to remove seats or ground planes? Yep. Does it mean you may lose your job? It could. But that's the cost of doing business when you don't own your flying. |
