Supplement W Negotiations Failure
In a preview of how we can expect AMR management to engage in the resumption of our Section 6 negotiations, last Friday AA management, along with Eagle management, outright rejected the joint APA/ALPA proposed settlement of all Supplement W grievances. APA and the Eagle ALPA negotiators worked collaboratively to reach a comprehensive settlement framework, yet without articulating a reason, both management teams felt that they could not accept the proposed agreement.
Preparations are underway for the grievance arbitrations to resume next month. We are extremely disappointed that management failed to recognize the value to both AA and Eagle in our joint proposal, but we are fully prepared to resolve this through arbitration. Protection of the AA seniority list is a paramount goal for APA, and we will continue to do everything possible to preserve its integrity. We will keep you informed of any additional developments as they occur.
So, Eaglefly, it looks like it's going to be awhile before you're going to be swinging gear for a former TWA guy. But it will give you more practice with the tiller.
