Tranny ALPA MEC - Dragging their feet

[frqntflyr]

19-0 had nothing to do with liking the deal. Think a bit and you might get why. Personalities are involved. Most of us hope your MEC shoots this down, myself included.

blah blah blah

(sarcasim) Yeah I am sure an arbitrator would agree with them.

A classic liberal ad-hominem factually baseless attack, you'll go far here.

It was fast for the SWA MEC to vote on it because it is a SWA windfall

Yeah, we are not the ones getting 2.9 Billion in this deal.

CBA's are ammendable

Looks like my Checkairman buddy was correct. Just found out that ALPA has (once again) pushed back their meeting to vote on the AIP to next week. WOW! Is all I can say. This was supposed to be wrapped up in a matter of days! Your MC agreed to it and yet your MEC can't seem to get their sh*t together to ratify it and send it out for a membership vote. Can ALPA do ANYTHING in a timely manner?
.

Whats the rush LeRoy ? No more money for us until April 1. We've got 9 months to mess with this ....

There is no time pressure.

Might want to let your "Checkairman buddy" know that AIP stands for "Agreement in Principle" which doesn't get voted on, ever.

The vote will be on the actual Agreement, which hasn't been finalized yet.

I'm sure he'll appreciate the clarification.

I don't know what you are going to call it. Over on this side of the fence we refer to it as SL9. I have no idea what AAI is going to call it so I refer to it as the AIP which I am sure everyone can understand.

We don't need any clarification Ty, thanks for the offer.

BTW, should this come out are you going to be allowed to vote?

Absolutely. A naked seniority grab.

 

[LeeRoyJenkins]

LRJ can't understand that simple concept, so how could he possibly communicate it anyone?

What simple concept?

The fact remains that an AIP was crafted and agreed to by both parties. SWAPA was able to finish up the final language in no time at all. ATN ALPA on the other hand couldn't find it's a$$ with a map. Delay, delay, delay, delay is all they know how to do.

All the while Gary Kelly is getting upset. ATN ALPA is costing Gary money and he doesn't like it.

If I was an AirTran pilot I would be quite concerned how their MEC is about to jeopardize my career.

Oooooh....scaarry...

Oooooh....scaarry...

It's not halowwen yet. That is in October.

 

[GhettoBeechjet]

It's another stall to make sure we know "who's in charge". More of the same that they did with the process agreement. Negotiation 101. They are just trying to sweat eveyone out to see if someone flinches and comes back to the table with a better deal.

 

[SWA/FO]

and companies are sold.

 

[On Your Six]

No, probably more like a 70 - 80 thousand raise... I'm close to 300 this year, but I'm a line holder. I'd vote no if I were you.

Just have the AT MEC vote it down, and send it back for some more work. Those ratios are crazy ridiculous.


OYS

When was your meeting with him? I had no idea he talked about such things with FI posters.
