ASA Negotiations Play-by-Play

[Sinca3]

There is an update to the VARS 1-800-MEC-ATIS and the MEC should be in the ATL lounge the next couple of days. Also check the ALPA site for updates.
Pretty much status quo on the part of the company..............Nothing being proposed by the company!

I love ASA. I see no problems. We fly great equipment, cool people & I am hung.

 

[ohplease!]

what I'd like to see is the printed transcripts of today's session. Someone's bending the truth (at the very least). My guess is it isn't just one side. things that are this important should be viewable on closed circuit t.v. or tape or something. 8 or 10 guy's in a room with closed doors, especially when any of them is a lawyer, are not to be trusted to tell us regular folk the whole truth.

Just wait, I'm sure you will hear ASA's version of everything in a few days....or you could just call Bill Hiers or Terry Hayes and ask them. I'm sure you are buddy buddy with them anyway!

"We must stick to the road map...", at least that is what Bill Hiers and Terry Hayes are trying to sell.

Fact is we didn't ask to be put in to a "cost box". That was a management decision and for all we know it could be made up. Afterall the company wanted the MEC to sign a confidentiality agreement that had language like"the company will not be held responsible or liable for the information presented." Pretty much they can lie and go to the crew lounge saying the MEC won't agree to what the company presented. The company wants to be able to pin as much as possible on the MEC and the CNC. I say, f*ck them. This job ain't worth it.

And the Company is asking us to take down our posting on our website about today.

You are right and that is why there is a mediator.

so far, I have not seen the mediator in the crew lounge with his version nor heard a taped phone message or a CD/DVD.

If it "ain't worth it", why don't you leave? You are free to make that decision for yourself, but you had better not make that decision for me. The "cost box" as you call it, while unpleasant, is a reality. Have you seen what happened to Coex today? They got out of the "cost box". So did CMR.
