Shuttle America Concession Vote?

[dispatchguy]

Werent the concession votes for the Shuttle America pilots supposed to be counted today?

i'm still baffled at the idea that they have anything to concede.

Without any editorializing on my part... the concessions were voted down 80-6, or about 93%.

Wonder whats going to happen now.

Has this been officially reported by the union? I couldnt find any mention of you guys on the Teamsters page, let alone a press release. What is the company's reaction?

The ballots were counted at teamster local 264 in buffalo. We have not heard anything from the company

Anything "official"? Not exactly, but when one of the individuals who was most involved in the direct dealing with SA/Wexford to arrive at the specifics of the TA approaches you in PIT and tells you "hey, the vote was 80-6" that is pretty close.

As for what "the company" thinks about this or "what happens now", I guess we have to wait and see. As far as I know there has been no official response from the front office.

 

[FSB99]

so, voted down, meaning, no concessionary agreement?
excellent job, guys, well done!

 

[I.P. Freley]

Yes, voted down as in no concessions.

Congradulations and thank you for sticking up for what you are worth. Good job everyone.

I hear that the front office is in a scramble right now. No official word, but I assume that they are trying to shore up and preserve the agreements in place or are looking at other possible alternatives. Time will tell.

Maybe it's time that management took concessions.
