Airtran negotiations -- any news?

[skywav8r]

Anyone got any news on Airtran negotiations? I just don't see too many folks posting Airtran stuff on here or APC. It's been quiet for a long time. Hopefully a big raise is in your future.

Wheels came off.

Walked away because of pay. Bob F will go down as the guy who kill Airtran. Hopefully a strike within the next 60 days.

Just remember no matter what you sign...your company will violate the new CBA.

Spirit management did it in 19 days...is AirTran management going to beat that?

 

[bravodude]

what part of the contract have they violated.

 

[Mike man]

what part of the contract have they violated.

The month-to-month transition rules...going to arbitration over it.

By at least 2 weeks I bet.

 

[Mike man]

By at least 2 weeks I bet.

That would truly be impressive...

I heard the NMB put Airtran on ice?

You heard wrong. No word yet but I doubt they put us on ice. We are very realistic in our demands.

When are we going to be released? This is getting ridiculous

Negotiations fell apart today as predicted. Next stop, impass then strike.

 

[27 driver]

Not looking good for us here in the
Tran land.

Nope negotiations ended early in the afternoon on 9-22. Prob cooling off period coming up.

 

[Pilot Knob]

I'll be home for Christmas....come on...sing it with me.

Did I miss a union email or is this word of mouth?

 

[Pilot Knob]

No email yet. NC is supposed to send out an update today. Stand by to stand by.

 

[Murphy]

Everyone packed their bags and left DC...stay tuned.

NMB will meet again in a month to discuss. No since of urgency at all. March makes six years without a contract, (seven years without a pay increase). I'm sure the management bonuses will be substantial.

Can't wait to see the signing bonus we get when this gets resolved. One can dream, right!!
