Link to Air Wisconsin TA

The thing that everyone needs to understand is this AWAC is not loosing money. Why do we have to suffer for United's mistakes? Because the company that pays AWAC is! Weather or not MESA signed a crappie contract has nothing to do with it. Do you really think that UAL or better yet the bankruptcy judge would continue to pay AWAC and the other Express carriers the same amount? Bash away.

T-man, sup??

You went to the road shows and what was the answer to most every question posed?? "we don't know" or "It's uncertain" and my personal favorite "there is no way of knowing" so why would anyone vote for uncertainty?? Never ever under estimate the power of fear!!!! The only flying we will see from UAL is the mountain flying with the 146 (ASPEN UAL's GOLD MINE) because let's face it we will never be lower than mesa, CHQ, or TSA and if you look at that TA closely you will see that if we move one aircraft for UAL be it new or existing flying we will be bound to the company for the duration of this agreement, while we begin flying for some new company. ALPA doesn't know the answers as their attorney stated because if they did and sent us into this thing with wrong info they would be sued, so exit clause for the union is "WE DON"T KNOW"!!!!

I voted NO on this crap and would do it again!!!!

The problem with this new LOA TA is that if it passes there will be alot less pilots needed at AWAC (per airplane), and if this TA does not pass then there will be even less.

The sad fact about this agreement also is that if it passes, AWAC will still be head and shoulders above most National carriers in the area of work rules and even compensation.

I personally despise ALPA National and would not trust them for a second, but I do trust our team of ALPA reps.

Everyone needs to make their own descision....good luck to all of us.

Ive jumped with AWAC boys in the front office a few times and I have nothing but respect for them. One thing that is strange about the growing relationship between AWAC ans AAI is that our (AAI) pilot group like and supports the growth of RJ's on our routes. It helps all of us do better and I hope it gives AWAC guys a better and more secure future without so much riding on UAL. Oh wait maybe I should start bashing and bad mouthing little RJ pilots a commuter scum and say that they are stealing my job and... ah F-it. Im glad were together keep adding planes and destinations. Good Luck Guys.

F@#$ UAL, Shoot this thing down guys. They always have another version in their back pocket. I was a Captain at Piedmont and saw how our spineless pilot group voted in a bottom of the industry concessionary contract for a hope of a future. Guess what, they still don't have any RJ's and now that US Air is out of Chapter 11 and on their way to recovery PDT is stuck with their sh@t contract until 2011. Nice move! I left.... And got a job flying corporate. Please Air Wis pilots, don't make this same mistake. Wait it out and see what the next contract they pull out of the a@s looks like. Best of luck saying NO!!!

All pilots,

The voting results on the TA are as follows:

YES:......324
NO.........160
Participation.......86%




I hope this means I will still have a job in the future
Being down in ATL and flying for a great company I guess we don't see the influence United is posing on our brothers on that side of the flying. I hope this works out for the best.

Vote it down. It blows. I wish you guys better luck with the outcome than we got.

However, be sure you get our Scope Agreement because that one is pretty solid.
