US Airways pilots no closer to seniority resolution

Despite a Ninth Circuit US Court of Appeals rulings that said the US Airline Pilots Association did not violate its Duty of Fair Representation (DFR), the pilots of the merged US Airways and America West are no closer to resolving their seniority issues. While seeming to put the matter to rest, it is likely that the America West pilots – known as “the west” pilots – will appeal the ruling of the three-member court and ask for a decision by the full 11-member court.
