Wow.. you really hate Lynx guys don't you?
If there is going to be backlash why isn't it happening NOW? Why is IBT being silent about this?
My constant gripe about the B-scale is because your CBA clearly states that if an aircraft is added to a certificate it must be paid at the same rates as already established for that aircraft until an LOA is reached. By paying the Lynx pay scale and not the RAH payscale this is a direct violation of your CBA. It also places you guys at an extreme disadvantage whenever Section 6 negotiations resume in earnest. Now the company will have a new lower pay scale they can point to and use as a baseline. The companies first arguement will be those guys make less, so should you.
In the short term I will openly admit I'm protecting my own dog in this fight, and I'll also admit our rates our embarrassing. I'm interested in protecting the overall group in the long term though and if IBT lets this happen it is not good for anybody. I wish we had fixed our own rates but we didn't(and there is a big difference between unwilling and unable), now is another opportunity and I want "your" union, soon to be "my" union as well to do right by all of us.

Why would you say that I hate you guys? It's us against them. You are part of the team now. There is only one guy that I dislike from Lynx (Vegas99) because he spews his hate and ill will towards us as a pilot group.

Our FO rates suck...got me there, welcome to 2008 Mongo. How are your rates doing??
"The Union" will do right by us, but it takes time. You go off the handle saying "republic the first regional with a B scale", when we don't even know how this will play out. Give it time.
170/190 are a common type A/C, so there was no need to have the union agree to them. The only thing that must be negotiated was the first 3 deliveries came configured with 100 seats. Arbitration has been ongoing since they set foot in MKE.
As for what management has said.....ask the F9 guys who were told that to their face that they were going to remain a stand alone certificate, then with our union at the table, did the currly shuffle backwards as fast as they could.
Thanks Cale.
I won't get into the staple/not staple screwjob that may or may not have taken place at Southwest. I'll just say that it's too bad you guys aren't flying to Gary Kelly right now.
Gup
Gup, you are going to be the first one to chime in once we get hammered by the arbitrator. I am not sure why you get so much joy out of another pilot group's misfortune.
