Comair Pilots to Vote on Pay Freeze Proposal
The following article was published by Aviation Daily on Tuesday, February 15, 2005.
Comair reached a tentative letter of agreement with its Air Line Pilots Association unit on a proposal to freeze pay in exchange for as many a 35 growth aircraft, but management is still in negotiations with its flight attendants.
The two sides have been trying to reach a deal for about two weeks, and Comair President Fred Buttrell earlier this month challenged both the pilots and flight attendants to accept management’s proposal by the third week in February. An earlier proposal from management said Comair could get 35 additional planes if the unions reached an agreement. Comair’s ALPA Master Executive Council has endorsed the proposed letter of agreement, and the deal will now go out to the 1,900 pilots for a vote.
After the proposed letter of agreement’s final language is written, road shows and presentations will be scheduled for all pilots, Buttrell said in an internal memo to pilots. “Details of the proposal will be shared at that time,” he wrote. “It is important to emphasize that no changes to the current contract will occur without a pilot ratification vote.”
Comair currently flies 164 CRJs and has no deliveries scheduled this year. The airline remains in talks with the flight attendants, represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. “Time is of the essence,” a spokesperson said. Comair’s mechanics this week will release the results of their ratification vote on a new contract. -SL
What say you Comair brothers now? Going to fight or drink the kool-aid and take the superior E-170's? For anyone who needs a link too here http://aviationnow.ecnext.com/free-scripts/comsite2.pl?page=aw_document&article=COMAIR02155
http://www.cincypost.com/2005/02/15/comair02-15-2005.html . The worst thing is your so called 'strong union MEC' supports it. If your union is as good as all you say then you wouldn't need to pay for the planes yourselves. COMAIR HAS BEEN SILENCED
