This is a hotline message from Jason Hedgepeth, Communications Manager for Local 747
On September 20th and 21st, the union negotiating committee met with National Mediation Board Mediator, Jack Kane and company representatives. These meetings were called by the National Mediation Board in a final effort to reach a tentative agreement between the company and pilot group.
The parties exchanged proposals covering Duration, Per Diem and Pay Scales. The company remained adamant that there was no money available to offer the pilots any significant economic gains, and their proposals indicated such. The union’s counter-proposals were met with very little interest from the company.
The proposals dealt with pay scales on the date of signing, subsequent yearly increases, increases in the current per diem rate and the company’s desire for a four year contract. The union pushed for increases each year of the contract, annual increase in per diem and a shorter contract of two or three years depending on the economic gains.
There is no agreement yet, but the union believes that there will be a tentative agreement within the next 48 hours. The union feels that this will be the best agreement we can achieve and the terms and contract changes of the agreement will be in a package sent out to all pilots for ratification. The union will also set up membership meetings to explain the agreement and answer questions.
For your ballot to count, you must be a member in good standing and current on your dues payments. Please call Karen Wilcox at 800-747-2313 ext11 to verify your membership status.
Please check the union bulletin boards and the hotline message for any further developments.
