The company probably does know about it but it wasn’t “the company” that had the fms part put in the video. I know some of the guys that worked on that video. They just put that in for fun.
CptMurf. Thanks also. For some reason I didn’t see your post previously. As you probably can tell this current displacement of MEM and MSP has me a little aggravated.
Capip, thanks for clearing that up about the bumping rights. That does make me feel better about it. I would still like to see them have to incur the same pilot payouts as before. Like the 45 days of hotel money, move package and time off. At least it’s not quite as bad as what I was told
In the old contract we got 45 days of hotel pay but in the new we only get two weeks. In the old we got more moving days and more moving money too. In the old contract we also had bumping rights. In the new it appears that we do not. The only reason that I say, “appears” is because a union rep...
And you talk about not making sense.
Yes, you are correct. Now TA2 will lock us into a poor commuter policy.
I didn't say that that they WILL get 11 off. I said they MAY. It’s speculation on my part and the logic does make sense. If all those holding 10 off go to 11 the manpower will have to...
The problem with this TA is QOL. We don’t have stability with this new contract because of the displacement and commuting language. It will be very easy for the company to issue a displacement rather than a vacancy. It will cost the company very little to force you to move to a new base without...
Many areas are better but it’s NOT “industry leading” like the union wants us to believe.
For 9e the vacation is worse. The commuter policy was very bad and it didn’t get any better. If you’re bought for OE welcome to reserve and for commuters that means hotel rooms not being covered...
YES, I know for a fact that some Capt’s will downgrade to hold top 10 in MEM. Also ATL is going to go senior on the CA side after this. A lot of the MEM guys want to be on the 900 but don’t want to move to ATL. If they are forced to have no QOL or if facing a displacement it’s going to be to...
Really not much talk of this lately at 9e. I do know that for seniority reasons they are looking at our d.o.h. to be changed to the 1st day of class rather than the day of checkride.
GRAAB, that’s a good way to look at it. Nice post. I think you’re correct about Colgan coming out well. They will now have good pay and work rules. Upgrades may suffer a bit but will be much better in the long run. I doubt there was ever any chance of Colgan remaining separate anyway. Pinnacle...
I wasn’t surprised that the money is only for Pinnacle. As you said, that was the deal. The part that I’m surprised about is that the bonus money was actually included in the new TA.
It’s a singing bonus after all. Would we sign with out it? I’d say one third of 9E would if it were a good...
There is only one reason this TA is here and that’s because the company needed it. It had nothing to do with anyone’s negotiation skills or any picketing. The company needed it this time to put us in bulk together.
Also, to my surprise: “included in the new deal is the full $10.1...
I understand that and I agree with you. I’m sure they will even have memos printed saying just that. They’ll have to because it will indeed effect how the pilot groups feel about one another. It is what it is. You can’t say, “don’t support your fellow ALPA group” and expect it not to cause...
Mesaba and Colgan’s MECs requested for their pilots NOT to support 9E pilots. That’s huge and it changes things from now on. Even if we get the contract it’s a big deal and it will not be forgotten. It’s one thing to have a low level of support (we expected that) but to specifically request...
