Air Wisconsin pilots win!!

[Rottweiller]

Well just heard today that the arbitrator ruled IN FAVOR of the pilots and said the concessonary contract was unjust and shouldn't have been used by the fact AWAC didn't get the UAL fying.

The company have 14 days to make good to the pilots.

This is not only a good thing for those of us at AWAC, but hopefully the rest of the industry. Hopefully this will set a precedent and reverse the trend in lowering the bar. Just shows that pilot groups shouldn't let management use bankruptcies and other unjust reasons to take away pay, work rules, pensions, and all that is rightfully ours.

Congrats guys, this is big for you guys, and big for the rest of the industry.

Thanks all!

To the ALPA naysayers, this is proof positive of what a good MEC and LEC's are for, and what your 1.95% goes to, among other things. This is why it is so important to be involved, and to have good, qualified reps.

Great job, guys!

Peace.

Congrats! Hopefully some of the other pilot groups will observe this. The old contract at AWAC was top notch. I hope you guys get it back. It is past time to move the bar up. Perhaps this will provide some momentum...

Does this mean snapback to old pay, "sorry" checks...?

Anybody have version of old contract?

And Congrats AWAC.

 

[redflyer65]

This should mean some HUGE retro checks. Invest wisely guys and good going. The system worked!

I've got one , I'll try to post the last rates, from 2005, along with the rigs and perdiem.

Peace.

From AWAC Contract '99

Year 2005

Longevity CA FO
0-1 $63.66 $25.50
1-2 $65.65 $39.39
2-3 $67.65 $40.59
3-4 $69.75 $41.85
4-5 $71.91 $43.14
5-6 $74.13 $44.48
6-7 $76.42 $45.85
7-8 $78.79 $47.27
8-9 $81.22
9-10 $83.74
10-11 $86.32
11-12 $88.99
12-13 $91.75
13-14 $94.58
14-15 $97.51
15-16 $100.44
16-17 $103.45
17-18 $106.60

That's just the CL-65 rates. The Bae-146 (think equivalent to CR9) tops out at $135.65/hr.

Perdiem would go back to $1.70 domestic and $2.00 international.

Actual on duty would go to a MAX of 15 hours (could be as little as 13 hours, depends on when you start your day).

Among other things.

Peace.
