XJT MEC declares war on ASA pilots.

[JoeMerchant]

The XJT MEC has realized that they will have to give up there current line bidding system. The XJT MEC has now agreed to go with a PBS system that does not honor seniority. It is a "globalization" system that is 40% seniority and 60% not based on seniority....The XJT MEC is trying to ram this down the throats of the ASA pilots and it is a worse system than we currently use. Contact your reps. now...before it to late.

That makes no sense. Why would they want a worse system, and how can XJT ram anything down ASA. Where is the real information?

 

[JettBoii]

Really? Our PBS is the one great thing we have. Why would the xjt mec not want it? Our system is top shelf. If that's the case then there needs to be a mass education drive. Ridiculous.

Not quite close to the centerline with this one...

Not quite close to the centerline with this one...

Since it's coming from people who are involved in negotiations and on the MEC and people higher up the food chain than you, I tend to believe it. You can call me however and set the record straight...you have my number..

 

[SLUF4]

so if 40% is seniority based-what is the other 60% comprised of?

Voodoo, which renders the first 40% useless...

 

[SLUF4]

I concur with you

The sky is falling, run in circles, waving your arms all akimbo, bla, bla , bla. What your seniority is no longer premium?

 

[crazy8]

Joe, you divisive little troll.....why would the XJT MEC push a system that does not honor seniority? What does it honor then? Your claim is completely bogus.

Bottom line is this...in the end...it doesn't matter what either MEC pushes. The pilot group votes on this stuff. If it is crappier than what we have now (XJT line bidding) it will get a big ole NO vote.


Your people "in the know" are blowing smoke up your a$$. Stop being such a chicken little.

40% Seniority Based (Favors Gummers and Lifers)

60% Beyond Thunderdome Cage Match at A-Tech Hangar (Favors Youth and New Hires)

Points will be deducted from those who are ejected from hangar during no-holds-barred seniority brawl.

Joe, that's going to be hard to do seen as we can just vote NO on the contract until the bidding option is one we all want.

I suppose one of the biggest problems you have here Joey, is that you have absolutely zero credibility.
