E-190s at AWA/US Mainline?

[FDJ2]

Negotiating Committee Update - September 16, 2005
From: Mark Burdick, Negotiating Committee Chairman
To: All AWA Pilots

On behalf of your MEC and Negotiating Committee, I am pleased to announce that the final Transition Agreement passed during today's MEC meeting. The section regarding EMB 190 rates will go out to the membership for a ratification vote in accordance with MEC policy.

On Monday, we will distribute an analysis outlining the protections that have been captured with the agreement. Stay tuned for more details.

Yes,

They will be at mainline. We have to ratify the pay scales so it's not a done deal yet, but so far it doesn't look like Republic or anyone else will be flying 190's for us.

Pilots on the AAA/AWA seniority lists will fly these airplanes.

The line between mainline and regional has finally been drawn - albeit very late.

 

[Crzipilot]

Anyone seen the proposed pay rates?

Anyone seen the proposed pay rates?

Yes, they are $ 2.00/hr less than JetBlue.

At this point it's just nice to be getting these things to mainline. Pay rates are secondary, altough not unimportant.

 

[FurloughedAgain]

Amen.

 

[PHXFLYR]

Yes, they are $ 2.00/hr less than JetBlue.

I believe the Capt Pay rate is $6.00 /hr MORE than "Jet Who?".......

190s at Mainline

Double AMEN

Can you imagine how different the industry would be today if all major airlines had kept their RJs (I know the 190 is not an RJ) on one seniority list? No race to the bottom.

Duece,

I had heard a rumor that you went to JetBlue. Drop me a PM sometime.
