Re: Chautauqua Airline - Pilots
Dear Mr. Bedford,
You are hereby notified of the intent of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters ("Union") to open negotiations for a Collective Bargaining Agreement ("Agreement")
between the Union and Chautauqua Airline Pilots. This notice is served in accordance with Section 6, Title I, of the Railway Labor Act, as amended. The negotiations are opened for change, including rate of pay, rules, working
conditions, supplemental agreements, side letters, benefit plans, and the like. The Union reserves the right to amend, change, add, or delete its proposals during the course of the negotiations. In my absence, Mr. Gene Sowell, President of Local 747 or his designee, will act as principal spokesperson for the Union.
You are reminded of the parties' obligation to maintain the "status quo" provisions of the Railway Labor Act (RLA) that apply during the course of these negotiations. Your cooperation with Mr. Sowell and the entire Union Negotiating Committee in bringing these negotiations to an early and successful completion will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Don Treichler, Director
Airline Division
Cc: Mr. Larry Gibbons, Director Mediation Services
Mr. Gene Sowell, President, Local 747

. Hopefully these guys show some grit here and help out the rest of the industry. With both Mesa and Republic negotiating, the bar could be raised for all of us.
It is really about time someone gave 9E some props for fighting so hard and doing so much with so little.
I'm curious how they are going to deal with two sets of negotiations, not just one.
You know, that almost P$sses me off that you left 9E out of this. In case you weren't watching, we just let 17 CRJ's go because we wouldn't "lower the bar" and take a substandard contract. The language of the new ASA with NW specifically said they were ours for 10 years if we signed what the company offered by March 30?

...Having four pilot groups in section 6 at the same time will make no never mind to speed and success of negotiations. Management has no incentive to speed up the process and increase costs. It's better for them to pay labor under the old contract for as long as possible....
