AS Recalls?

[mach none]

nothing false about this my friend, but will find out on Monday. that is the latest word for the bid. I would love to eat my words on this one.

PDX base will not happen. It's not cost effective for the relatively small group of pilots that would be based there.

ALK ALPA "Management has indicated to us that in addition to bid 2010-04, another bid will be posted shortly, and that this upcoming bid will likely involve the creation of a new Portland base."

Ouch, did that hurt?

 

[QCappy]

Recalls can only come after the final award comes out for the bid on Monday. So essentially we wouldn't know until the awarding of that bid. Of course, if there are the same number of vacancies in PDX as reductions in SEA, well then......

....where did I put that Govm't cheese?

 

[Mookie]

According to GB, BM, and Greg Haage at the SIC summit, there were 25-30 MORE guys come back from LOA from the last bid starting April 1 than they expected. Each said they expect recalls this year, but wouldnt give numbers. pdx base coming, it will not be ETOPS, and they still want SEA ETOPS. Min growth 2% and BT wants double that the last half of the year.

Full recalls, new PDX base, SNA co-terminal back, all bases grow & get ETOPS, more days off, more $$$.....

That's what I want for V-Day!!!

Baja.

 

[turbodriver]

You & me both.....

 

[igneousy2]

How can they be surprised by the number coming back from LOA? I thought LOA's were for a specific period of time.

 

[Green Banana]

You can come back from a LOA to participate in a bid. I would bet these guys wanted to see where they will be after this shake up. The majority will go right back on LOA when they are awarded ANC.

 

[Old School 737]

Just had BS on flight and he said something about 80 crews to PDX!!!

 

[Green Banana]

That was the prior rumor. 40 crews actually. 80 pilots.

 

[tico]

stop hurtin yourselves... the last 90 or so hired were to create a "training bubble" to get rid of the Md-80.. nothing more, nothing less ... you will get recalled when 90 of the blue hair diaper crowd leave and not before....

 

[Old School 737]

That was the prior rumor. 40 crews actually. 80 pilots.

I think he told the CAPT. 78 CREWS!!

 

[igneousy2]

who is BS?

I thought that you could participate in the bid but all it determined was what your position would be when you came back...not the actual date you were coming back.

 

[Green Banana]

I believe you are correct. They are shown as active in the new bid award though. Hopefully it is just a place mark.

 

[Mea25000]

BS is your MEC Pres.

 

[CGHercster]

I like to refer to him as the Chairman

 

[Old School 737]

Bid is OUT. Big move to PDX.

 

[QCappy]

[Singlecoil]

Wow.
Rough numbers:
Adding 20 crews to ANC
Adding 80 crews to PDX
Shrinking SEA by 90 crews.

Possible recall of about 20?

I find this interesting:

Base Change, No Training - If you are awarded a position that does not require any training (base change only), you will bid in your new position effective April 1, 2010 unless otherwise notified.​

 

[ClearRight]

I think it means bid in April for June flying?? or is it bid in March for your position in base April 1?

 

[QCappy]

I think it means bid in April for June flying?? or is it bid in March for your position in base April 1?

No. Bid awards can be moved 2 months either way. So this is in essence effective April 1. That's why the bid had to come out today, because they need 60 days advance notice to open a new base.

 

[wscrj]

Go easy on the "recall" word. Just because the numbers are different doesn't mean a recall of anyone out involuntarily.

We won't know any more until 01MAR.

 

[sf340flyer]

There are reasons contained in the CBA for bid advancements or bid delays. There are very few times the company can do this. I know this was done in the past, but it is a direct violation of our CBA. Bascially CM didn't like to play by the rules of the CBA and it was recently brought to light.

 

[Mea25000]

Looks like LOA will fill all open slots what a joke!

Change in Directors or Principal Officers

ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers
On January 27, 2010 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") of Alaska Air Group, Inc. (the "Company") approved the payouts for the 2009 Performance-Based Pay plan. The payouts are based on the Company's 2009 performance relative to safety, customer satisfaction, and financial performance goals established by the Committee for the year. The payouts were as follows:
Mr. Ayer, $620,585; Mr. Tilden, $439,577; Mr. Johnson, $387,863; Mr. Minicucci, $323,215; and Mr. Pinneo, $339,216.
The Committee also approved the 2010 performance criteria pursuant to which awards may be paid to executive officers and other employees participating in the Performance-Based Pay plan as follows. Subject to the terms of the plan, participants will be eligible to receive payments if the Company achieves certain operational and financial performance criteria over the full year. The primary measures for 2010 and the relative weightings given to each measure are the Company's pre-tax profit margin (70%), cost per available seat mile excluding fuel (10%), safety as measured by lost time injuries per full time equivalent employee and aircraft ground damage per 10,000 departures (10%), and customer satisfaction as measured by total number of times each airline meets or exceeds the monthly Operational Performance Rewards customer satisfaction goal (10%). For all employees, Performance-Based Pay payouts will be subject to an additional performance modifier that could increase, decrease, or maintain payout levels. The modifier is based upon the dollar value of ancillary revenues collected per passenger.
This will make all of yus furloughed guys sleep better.

Who says there needs to be open slots to recall?

 

[Going2Baja]

CM didn't like to play by the rules of the CBA and it was recently brought to light.

Thanks goodness she's gone or this bid would take MONTHS for her to figure out. She goofed that one month displacement bid in April so bad I think it cost her her job. I would expect the current bid to have PLENTY of %'s in place for each base.

Do you all think if one holds different bases for each bid that the June bid will be the actual bid or will one swap to each base as assigned?

Baja.
