Surplus 1,
I'm proved wrong again...you are not the individual I suspected. We didn't see eye-to-eye on many things when you were MEC chairman. Thanks for your continued support!
Since no one will post the TA, will someone tell me if the CA 900 rates are higher or lower then Mesa's? I ask because JO was braging on his hotline this week that if Comair pilots pass this TA, Mesa will have the Second highest CRJ 900 rates in the country. I don't believe it but want confirmation. Thanks Bean
pretty easy for him to say since every one of the majors has taken huge cuts already and he heads an organization that couldn't care less about its regional groups.
As far as your last sentence here: they can't strike and WE WON'T be released. Not that it ever did but, ALPA has no backbone to stand for anything (especially at regionals), its been riped out by the courts (lawyers again)
Sadly, the -900 rate is the same as the -700 rate until 1/1/11. The -700 rate is currently better than Mesa's -700 rate, but a little under Mesa's -900 rate. There is a COLA of 1.5% (which is a pay cut considering inflation generally runs about 3%) each year after signing.
What I still do not understand is why Comair pilots are voting for this or why the MEC would endorse a TA that is concessionary. Any light would be appreciated.
If Delta is going exit bankruptcy in April or May, why not just vote down the TA and fight it out once out of bankruptcy whereas the hands are not so tied by the courts? Or does the status quo apply here once contract negotiations begin? Could Comair drag it out as long as ASA has in that regard?
Not looking for flame here. Only curious how this would work.
