More Dates for ASA

[49W]

Surprise Surprise:uzi:

NMB SENDS ASA, ALPA BACK TO NEGOTIATING TABLE​

The National Mediation Board (NMB) today informed ASA of its
decision to schedule further negotiations between ASA and
ALPA. Meetings will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 26. A complete
meeting schedule is in the process of being finalized.
ASA has continued to voice our belief that further negotiation
can gain a contract that is fair to ASA pilots while ensuring the
Company’s long-term viability. It is still ASA’s belief that a
release from negotiations is not in the best interests of our pilots,
the Company, or our customers.
ASA President Bryan LaBrecque and Vice President of Flight
Operations Charlie Tutt, again will attend the sessions with the
intent of reaching agreement on the few sections that remain​

open.

It's a surprise to ALPA.... They said this was going to be it... A release was the only choice.... Oh wait that was the last round of negotiations...

Not a surprise to some of us......

I just know we'll get released THIS time!


Sorry, just wanted to get in early.

YEAH #3 on a 5 page thread!!!

Now, If we can find all of the guys that are still taxiing at V1 and calling over and over for gates, giving suggestions, and flying broken planes and SLAP THEM IN THE F&*@ING FACE!!! maybe we can apply a little extra pressure before the 26th.

 

[COOPERVANE]

Isn't this fairly short notice? Seems like every other time a date was announced, it was a month or more away.

Why the short notice? Was it because of the supposed meetings over the last two weeks?

 

[OpsCheckGood]

Maybe A-14 ?

OpsCheck, do you seriously think that will make a difference. The CNC and MEC promised us in the lounge that a release was going to happen, the NMB was fed up with the company. Now it is clear the NMB thinks ALPA is asking for too much. We can blame the NMB all day long but the SW ALPA vote is not going to happen. Not even close. Get this contract done now. SW will wait out the vote and then transfer away.

I agree, doing nothing hasn't worked so far! How about something else!

....and PS.

why freakin bother?????? What possibly could be different this time than the big "four day" session a few short weeks ago? Nothing! Is ASA/Skywest/Delta really more willng to move now than they were last time? No! And is ALPA willng to give up our demands for better pay and the most important thing -- scope protection from Skywest eliminating our jobs? NO WAY!

So, why are we even bothering with this farce? The NMB seems determined to keep dragging it out, and as many have predicted, the will be no release!
