US Airways Pilot Pay 8FEB13

[FR8mastr]

FYI

The recall voters wanted the recall done because they were unhappy with the fact that the CLT reps were not going along lock stock and barrel with the sales pitch. I base my opinion on what one of the CLT reps actually told me about the recall attempt.

Angry First Officers out East say vote NO!!!!! Can things get worse than LOA 93 for ten years?

Not exactly. The AFO's that realize they are headed for an extended tour in the right seat are voting NO and the very senior Capt's might vote NO because they are still deluded about their "glory days" but the newly upgraded and those slated for upgrade are looking for a bigger paycheck to go with their shiny new stripe and they say "DOH? Whatdat?"

For those begging for folks to suspend their hatred of the east, I say you've done a very thorough job of making your bed. Who am I to deny you the chance to lie in it?

It's a done deal. APA will be our union soon. There is too much money to be made by the decision makers for it to not go through. It's a done deal. Time for all to come together and move forward. All pilots in the industry will benefit.

"Done deal". How many times have I heard that in my career? If the past is any indication of the future, I would say it has about a 5% chance of actually happening as you envision it.

Don't underestimate the east's ability to make their careers worse than they already are. Passage of the MOU is not guaranteed by any means. Again, if the past is any indication of the future the MOU has about a 5% chance of being approved by the east pilots.

Exactly what I and every other new-hire is afraid of.

MOU will pass this Friday.

 

[Smarta$$]

So if passed, when and under what exact conditions does this take effect?

Basically upon BK court approval ("POR effective date") which is expected to be this summer (JULY). The new pay will be retro to 2/8/2013 if voted in.

Trusted source, eh? That train wreck known as the east just never gets old. They step on their own d---s and then stoically say "Well at least you know where I stand!":laugh:

"when practical"

The most laughable statement in the MOU.

I just changed my vote 15 minutes ago.

Today, your union ratified the MOU with 75% of the members voting to approve the agreement.
