For those of you at Go-jets you may not understand the above terms like "MEC" "union proposal" "grievance" "arbitrator" "APA" "ALPA"The MEC convened via teleconference yesterday to discuss the status of our Letter 3 grievance resolution discussions. The MEC was briefed on the Association’s Tuesday meeting with Peter Bowler, John Hutchinson, Cathy McCann, and Brad Wickman, at which Association representatives revisited the unions’ proposal of one month ago along with the associated financial projections. The goal of the meeting was to ensure that the company understood the tenets of the proposal and associated cost savings to the corporation. It was also an opportunity for the Association to gain insight into management’s current position in these settlement discussions.
We expect a follow up meeting early next week.
The MEC was also briefed on Thursday’s four party teleconference with Arbitrator LaRocco who currently presides over the TWA Employment Opportunity remedy and Order of Recall grievance disputes. On October 11th and 12th, the four parties will meet in California to argue the remedy phase of the TWA Employment Opportunity arbitration. A decision is expected shortly thereafter. A decision in the Order of Recall grievance could arrive at any time.
Your MEC believes that the current ALPA-APA proposal offers substantial, long-term cost savings while quickly resolving Eagle’s current recruitment problem. The MEC also believes that the current union proposal offers the best opportunity to address the broadest range of issues faced by different segments of the Eagle pilot population. Although there is a short-term cost associated with the unions’ proposal, it is outweighed by the savings generated, not to mention any side benefit such as retention, recruitment, and moral.
While technically accurate that the APA was the party that refused to entertain the companies’ counter-proposal, the company was aware that by counter-proposing outside of the framework the unions had proposed, they would likely be functioning outside of the unions’ bottom lines and therefore result in the cessation of discussions.
It is our hope that management will realize that the current settlement framework offers the best chance for success in enhancing Eagle’s cost competitiveness, meeting employee needs for career progression and stability, and creating a long-term and viable corporation. Long-term investment in a guaranteed program of this sort is a smart, financially sound, and necessary choice.
This is nothing new. Even during the hiring binge of 2004, only 4 out of 13 of us were hired that day.
The mins are low, but they still are very picky. Dropping more then 50 percent out of the interview before the first day.Well yeahh!!!!! That was then, but now is different
that's why avarage mins for an interview now hit the rock bottom.
No thx!! I am with another gig but good luck on training I heard that Indoc is really hard which is kind of ad for any kind of training I guess they want you to know the CP # and address by heart but it doesn't matter how fly the airplane
Check your sources. Indoc was easy and the final test is open book.
