There is no new information that I'm seeing here, just Business Week's analysis of what has occurred thus far. It still remains to be seen what American Airlines will actually choose to do (or be able to do) with their regional feed. I'm still hoping they're bluffing or are simply unable to...
They probably just don't want to do the paperwork with the FAA. I recently had to do a lot of work to get an FDP extension that was in my crew's best interest.
Yeah, steps 5, 7, and 8 can all occur without the hassle of a TA at XJT. If you are the Company, why would you agree to a TA that you hope fails? You don't need the pilots to blame to execute a business plan if you think it is the best course of action. Why waste lots of money on contract...
Well, they tend not to enforce freezes when displacements are in the position notice. If you recall the first 3 position notices of 2013 upheld the seat locks. The most recent 2 had significant displacements out of ATL 200 CA. They tend to do this because when people are displaced the Company...
That is the latest they can publish. There isn't much incentive to publish early since the effective date is so far out. Delaying preserves their options to adjust the numbers, such as adding additional vacancies or lowering the number of reductions. However I don't expect anyone to work on...
On a quick glance at my personal situation, 0% at signing and 1% every 18 months thereafter, provided I'm not on a 51+ seater and the 51+ seat fleet size is over a certain threshold. In that case the 1% raises don't happen.
Just note that it is clearly a draft copy. There are plenty of errors, missing references, etc. The content is most likely accurate though. Anyone expecting significant improvements was delusional. Read the final draft thoroughly, listen to the roadshows with healthy skepticism, and then...
What part of the email is confusing? There are 2 separate MECs/pilot groups until a JCBA is ratified and SLI is complete. Each MEC had to pass a resolution, separately, to approve of sending the Agreement In Principle out to the pilots as a Tentative Agreement for ratification voting. There...
They won't put it out unless the MEC votes in favor of sending it to the pilots for ratification. They just started briefing yesterday. Would you prefer that they rush through that decision? I for one would like them to read the language very carefully before they vote. There can be a big...
Yep. XJT's problem is primarily insufficient revenue. The primary options are to negotiate better contract rates with customers, shed the unprofitable contracts, or reduce expenses. They are of course attempting to do all three.
