So how many AT FO's went to the bottom? I heard its straight DOH.

I understand...

This is SWA mgmt negotiating with two groups they need to keep "on the team"...I personally believe they are dead set against arbitration (and a possible AMWest/USAIR scenario), they are trying to get two groups with competing goals to agree so that they can go forward with strategic plans...

AIP1 was the better deal for AAI (CP seat locks forever essentially, cannot be bumped from a SWA CP seat unless there are system wide CP downgrades), 1:1 furlough protection, quicker SWA Pay (717 included), longevity pay increases for the senior (stapled AAI FOs) etc...

You may not think AIP1 was as a good deal as the new deal, especially in light of the rumored seniority gain for AAI pilots, but I believe in the long run AAI pilots will not get as much financial gains as they would have in AIP1 (loss of CP seats)...but it seems that seniority trumped $$ in the minds of many AAI posters here and of course our DAL and AL guest posters...

Not DoH. 450 to the bottom.

No vote yet brother.

When does the SWAPA board vote?

 

[DougCorp-9]

Today.

Yep. MEC voted 8-0 to send out for vote. Of course, several reps still have some sense of pride/respect and have been in the lounge recommending NO votes. Today's vote really doesn't mean much. We'll see!

Idiots. They just don't learn now do they.

 

[Dash Power]

LOL! They just have the appearance of being confused. So am I for that matter.

I thought there was an agreement by the MEC to bring it to a membership vote anyways.

For those reps, it won't matter soon anyways.

It's ALPA following "procedure" in a vain attempt to avoid being sued back to the stone age. Again.

Is the 300 # improvement for the top guy a captain or FO? If it's for the #1 guy on the Tranny list, it would mean better than DOH.

Not true...a 300 # improvement for top FL CA would move VG from 1653 to 1353 on ISL. Making him equivalent to a 8/17/95 hire. An approximate loss of 1 yr. 11 mos. from date of hire. Just the facts.

If AAI pilots vote for this, then they get what they deserve.
