If I understand you right, you think the APA will just spin their wheels in the negotiation phase, say "We have to go to arbitration, then by the time we are ready to go there the APA will be our CBA and ignore everything USAPA has done. Right/
Right. What has usapa done in regards to seniority? The Nic is still in our contract awaiting a jcba isn't it?

Wait a minute. You said there wouldn't be any, that the APA will handle it. Getting confused?

The APA negotiating with the APA! Sounds great to me!

It produced a document that says the seniority listS currently in EFFECT remain until replaced by a JCBA, then status quo is void.

Under you premise, what would keep the APA from taking the really safe road. Take US pilots data to the arbitrator and say "Their SLI was a mess and is still in dispute. If we side with either, we will be sued. You figure it our or let's wait until we get a definitive legal ruling."

I didn't say there would be any. Apa/usapa will negotiate protocol but they will not negotiate a list.

so in effect usapa got around the Nic by negotiating an agreement with the company and apa that makes the Nic irrelevant, is that what you are saying?

We would be fine with that as long as the Nic was also presented along with the full story, as a matter of fact Marty asks for that exactly.

R57, I am going to reiterate this as I curious if this is how you see it.

I often have no idea what those running USAPA think. I get my info. just like you do. I have no standing in the union other than being a MIGS.

I think they think they got around the Nic way before the MOU and the wording in it was just to keep out an end run around their court rulings, as vague as they are.

Yes, if the whole story of the Nic was told. I think the east ALPA MEC report to the ALPA BOD followed with what has happened with separate ops would do well.

Starting from your current list would be much better than starting from a combined DOH list, just not the windfall for the bottom third to half the Nic would provide.

See here is the deal, usapa and the company came with something they believe gets them around the Nic. Now do you understand why we believe our dfr is ripe?

No, here's the deal: USAPA and the company produced an agreement that brings everyone more money and a part in the world's largest airline. That same deal has also probably rendered the Nicolau award moot. The west pilots voted 95% in favor of what USAPA negotiated, including you I'll bet. This was a "legitimate union purpose" which was proven by your 95% acceptance vote.

Now do you see why there is absolutely no DFR? You can continue to provide a full employment act to your attorneys...but you have no case. None. Were I the judge, I would dismiss it in summary judgment.
