SWA - AAI question

[ivauir]

That's funny, I didn't get that update. I am throwing the BS flag.

Is there any info on why we don't have a process agreement? Out guys explained that it is a pretty straight forward document that outlines: negotiate, mediate, then a panel of arbitrators. Seems pretty simple.

I suspect IF we go to arbitration it will be because the Airtran pilots vote for it. Therefore it's really up to you guys to figure out what it's worth to get the big bucks and other HUGE contractual gains sooner vs. later. Gup

A quick and honest question: Does anyone know if either USAir or A/W had similar language (maximum duration of seperate ops) in either of thier contracts?

I don't think it's an update, I think its the way ALPA is trying to do business. I'd say it's troubling if your a line AAI guy.

OK..... I just read the update. You Airtran guys need to pick up the phone and ask WTF. You aren't even willing to keep negotiating the process agreement until you talk to your Mommy? That'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. Gup

Gup, read it again and then read what you just posted. I could be wrong, but I don't think it's the process agreement?

That's what I meant! LOL....... And I had put transition in there first and then jacked it up! I still stand by the jist of my post.

Email states the "ALPA transition" team held up any further progress to clarify some AAI/SW management issues.

With ALPA involved, this could take awhile. Incredible.

I bet the company is less than thrilled with that email! I for one will be watching the company to see if they stand by the amount of sugar in their kool-aid!

Maybe you guys are reading too much into the update?
