The revenge of the angry red book guy comes out again. Look at your heroes at USAPA getting run over now by events a new union will not help you in your quest. Just wait until two years from now when the fences come down, you will be able to hear carl scream all the way from Florida.
Discussing what these union officials did in an open and straightforward manner is healthy. There should be no attempt to silence that process by portraying it as personal attack. This propensity to automatically give the benefit of the doubt to whomever is in power, is exactly how we got into this position. A position that most recently gave us the Pinnacle agreement without any DALPA involvement whatsoever.

Well, when they went personal on me, it was wrong. When others go after them, does not make it right.
You know what Ty Webb used to say "two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left."
In fact, for bonus point on APC, if you must insult someone, do it by quoting Ty Webb:
"Your uncle molests collies."

AMR, US Airways boards OK merger: report
February 13, 2013
The boards of American Airlines parent AMR Corp. and US Airways Group late Wednesday separately voted to approve a merger that would create the world's largest airline, The Wall Street Journal reports.
"The merger will be formally announced early Thursday morning. Under the all-stock deal's terms, American's creditors would own 72% of the combined airline, and US Airways shareholders the balance," the Journal writes.
"Under the all-stock deal's terms, American's creditors would own 72% of the combined airline, and US Airways shareholders the balance. US Airways Chief Executive Doug Parker will run the combined company as chief executive. AMR CEO Tom Horton will serve as nonexecutive board chairman, likely until the spring or summer of 2014, the time of the new company's first annual meeting after American emerges from bankruptcy protection . . . The airline will likely have a market capitalization exceeding $10 billion, and the value could approach $11 billion."
AMR filed for bankruptcy in November 2011, citing high labor costs. A combination with US Airways will create the world's largest airline by passenger traffic and help the two carriers better compete with Chicago-based rival United Continental Holdings Inc., as well as with Delta Air Lines Inc.
As Crain's has previously reported, a US Airways-American merger will help corporate travelers in Chicago, who will get more nonstop flights from O'Hare International Airport.
"Tempe, Ariz.-based US Airways Group Inc. has a small presence at O'Hare, accounting for just 2 percent of the airport's flights from its four gates," Crain's John Pletz noted last year. "But a merger would give American's corporate accounts better access to US Airway's hubs in Philadelphia, Phoenix and Charlotte, N.C. American's passengers would also have an easier time reaching cities in the Southwest and Europe, and the airline's total share of trans-Atlantic flights would rise to 14 percent from less than 10 percent today, according to Airline Forecasts LLC in Washington."
United has 48 percent of O'Hare's passengers, while American has 35 percent.

P.S. Brake check the tailgating cop. Bonus points if he is checking his e-mail or mid way through a sip of coffee.

Anyone think that the American / US Airways merger would prompt Delta to merge with Alaska?
