smart phone double space = .

Next letter automatically capitalized is a default setting.

Current technology.

I don't think so. I think the MOU is laid out in such a way that the process will go on. If some want to sue, that is their business, but I don't see AA pilots being dragged into it. The US pilots are fighting an 8 year old SLI and are barely looking at the next one.

See we have less seniority today than in 2005, you know that . You think the arbitrators will ignore the Nic? I will tell you here and now that the east/west pilots will be arranged in Nicolau order when this is over, it won't be called Nicolau but the us/aa list.
It hurts the west only in the context that you didn't get your Nicolau windfall. You didn't get it because of the TA and because you fought any agreement tooth and nail. That allowed the process to stall and the natural airline cycle to continue and show the fallacy of Nicolau's assumptions. As Carl said, it is the status quo, it is what you have today. Sorry.

We may very well be ordered by the Nic, but you don't know that. I hope you don't operate airplanes with the same reasoning and tunnel vision you display here.

From Silver:
You leave our the part where Silver says that we did inherit the TA, but in the context of this argument it doesn't matter. That a new union is legal able to change any section of a contract, with a LUP.

The Nicolau has never been used and the MOU calls for using the seniority lists in effect. You may be right, I just don't see it. You don't have to convince any of us, just a judge.

You guys are so morally lacking that you can't tell the difference in legitimacy between a third party arbitrated list and one that is made up by the larger group for its own benefit .
I'm morally corrupt when I don't see things as you do. Oh that stings.

What USAPA has done has nothing to do with morality. The law has allowed it. That is the problem with some of you guys, you see it as this big moral battle instead of a disagreement on how to split the pie. You are jihadists.

We are living by our agreement, the TA. It is you that wants out of it. You don't want to abide by the separate ops clause. You wanted me to vote in an inferior contract just so you could get your windfall. You fall into the trap of believing that if USAPA's DOH scheme is bad then the Nic must be good(and vice versa) and can see no other solution. That kind of thinking (from both sides) is idiotic and has damaged us tremendously. A little less rhetoric and a lot more pragmatism would have served us better.

It's called an iphone, it does automatically. You hear of word prediction? Does that too and sometimes I don't notice or don't bother correcting.

I did not leave that out. BTW you make my point, usapa is trying to change the "existing" list which is the Nicolau for something else.
The Nicolau has never been used and the MOU calls for using the seniority lists in effect. You may be right, I just don't see it. You don't have to convince any of us, just a judge.
Is the Nicolau still in our TA? Did usapa say the MOU doesn't touch the Nic.?

Nope not at all. If Wilson's letter is to be believed we will go to arbitration ( apa won't make a deal with usapa) after we are all under one contract and it will all be over very quickly. the Mou and MB are set up so that what the east has done cannot ever happen again.
