AirTran/Npa TA update

[BR715]

Heard from Ferris' older cousins brother former roomate that the negotiations aren't going to hot. The mediator is crying again that were asking for to much and Kolski's been having temper tantrums. Also heard that the company almost walked out. I say let the mediator and the company continue to complain while we informational picket and rapidly move to a formation of a strike committee. I believe these tyrades from SK are all part of his little game. So if he wants to play his we will just have to play ours.

lets do it now .....what the hell is everyone waiting for......ive had my uniform on for 2 mths waiting for someone to tell me where to go.......other than hell

Its the companys negotiating tactics.... It will take a united AAI pilot group to get the company to take notice.... Where do we picket?

 

[Just thinking]

I call a do over

To heck with this... Kolski can rant and rave all he wants. Put it to a vote now...we will vote it down... get a professional labor firm to represent the pilot group and start over. Game On... time to get what we have paid for for the past couple of years. Take the money that has been stashed in the war chest and have the Pros do the work for us. Get a pilot steering committee for the attorneys and we will go from there. Outside review of the accounting books for ALL costs for the past couple of years with full disclosure to the membership. The company would sure like to get their labor contracts in order... keep dragging your feet and you can juggle the flight attendants as well (I think it is due in 08). Let 2nd qtr ''record'' profits work to the pilots advantage. The company screwed up bad and their negotiators should have played nicely and put forth a contract last year with a little stroking... probably would have passed. Now they have other forces working against them outside of the pilot group. Stretched their forces too thin and the battle front is getting wider. Now is the time to stay calm... vote this down because all of the intel is pointing to another piece of crap TA. Recall... profesional negotiators... start over and get what we truly deserve. Maintain our profession... maintain our dignity.... do not sell ourselves short.... Great opportuntiy to continue to develop this company as a professional pilot group that is proud of our profession. Never let them see you sweat.

I hear the company did walk out. Just a bunch of posturing, that's all.

Looks like we'll be voting on it after all. Go out and buy some comfortable walking shoes gentlemen. It's time for the media relations people to start earning their money.
