Who was working when?....-Not wanting to go to the actual trouble of finding a copy of the Nic, let me run that through the old permutation/iteration/speculation computer:

All AWA pilots were working at the time of the merger. Ding)))

Not all USAir pilots were working at the time of the merger. Ding)))

The term "time of the merger" seems vague. Ding)))

Some portion of furloughed USAir pilots were expected to be recalled between the time of merger announcement and the announcement of the Nic, creating a certain demographic instability in status and expectations for any contemplated seniority lists during arbitration. Ding)))

In an uncertain, changing demographic environment, an arbitrary point in time must be chosen so as to eliminate the aforementioned instabilities and uncertainties, -a logical point in time chosen so as to fix the status and expectations of those involved. Such logical point in time is traditionally "date of announcement of the merger". Ding))) Ding)))

The status and expectations of all pilots involved were frozen as of the aforementioned "date of announcement of the merger" Ding))))

The seniority list was constructed based on the status and expectations of those involved frozen at the aforementioned date. Ding)))

The USAir pilots were not happy with their status and expectations being frozen on said date. Ding)))

The arbitrators could hardly be expected to change such status and expectations on a day-to-day basis as the arbitration proceeded. ding)))

The arbitrator, not being expected to change such status and category for said USAir pilots in such ongoing process...didn't make such changes. ding)))

Result: The Nicolau Award. Logically based on actual number of pilots working at date of merger announcement.

End of program....

I guess we will just have to wait and see what this new panel comes up with. I understand however that the west will be there pushing our agenda of the NIC, has your BPR told you yet?

Don't be mad man, I know that Wiggy makes you look foolish but really you make it so easy to do. I dont recall that you had issues with Carl when he was on here pushing your land grab agenda, hmmm wonder why as he too is a DAL pilot.

As far as you pushing the Nic, I guess you missed it where I said that I thought you would have a seat. Shocker.

Carl agreed with me, so I usually don't have a problem with people that agree with me. I don't have a real problem with people that disagree with me when it's reasonable and they actually know the facts.

Land grab. That's hilarious as it's the land I've been on for almost 28 years.

I am certain that as an editor that she fully understands seeing as how by your own admission she is a far cry smarter than you...

Your group voted over 90% for the MOU then turned around and claimed that it was illegal. Integrity would have been voting no if it was not in your best interests. You were trying to trick F it, and failed.

You have no need to worry about my daughter, she has both. She was impressed with mine when I took on my own side over the C18.
