When they put 330s/350s in PHX, you boys ought to be flying them.

Nic or Not, West pilots will fly those aircraft as soon as the AAL seniority integration is complete.

That assumes the resulting seniority list gives them the seniority to hold them.

I heard that its gonna be a staple job. If so even their most senior pilot might not be able to do it.

The only way a "staple job" will likely happen is if the arbitration formulates that. I can't see that occurring or APA advocating that. Who's telling you someone is going to stapling someone else ?

The gall YOU have. Airplanes don't generate revenue, hubs do.

The one you brought to the merger doesn't support widebodies.

You had none, no expectation of ever flying one yet demand a job from someone who did have all those expectations.

Take note APA.

Thats a bad lolwut.

It will not be a staple job.

The West pilots will either receive Nic or they, along with everyone else, will receive something similar to United's "X" number of pilot categories subordered with a rated ratio of LOS and relative seniority. I don't know what the ratio will be... 50%/50%?

USAirways East and West needs to keep their expectations low. DP still has the power $$ to influence the outcome. The way DP went to APA to get the MOU shows who DP wants to be happy. If you expect this to be fair, you will be disappointed. All I expect is to keep my position with little upward movement.
Additional training to stir things up I don't see happening. APA will be happy.
