USAPA / US Airways MOU

[Turtle21]

what exactly is in this mou? Pay increases, scope, furlough protection?

Good:
--Excellent pay rates for narrow body and wide body aircraft

Bad:
-- forfeiture of SnapBack provision in our current contract to pay rates much higher than the pay rates now being offered
-- allows 15% reduction of narrow body aircraft per year with no end
-- allows 20% reduction of wide body per year, no end
-- allows unlimited increase of E-190
-- allows unlimited code share

Those are some highlights

3 year review/discuss total cockpit cost with Delta. I.e. company gets to declare various total cost factors, math magic. Just a promise to review.

No, I mean if he has learned, at least as far as LCC pilots are concerned. If he has learned, he'll be able to cut LCC flying 10 percent a year, resetting the average each year, of course allowing another 10 percent to be cut each new year. That is what he argued in front of Bloch, to no avail.

What if he has figured out a way around that? Then we, both east and west, versus APA, will find out just what he had in mind for the west and east pilots. Ie. shrink the west 10 percent, give to the east, reset the average, then shrink the west another ten percent, rinse and repeat. Only this time it will be shrink LCC, give to AA, rinse and repeat.

There are enough 'mays' in that MOU that it appears this may be drug out. If so we east and west, would realize what the company had in mind for the west before TA 10 arbitration stopped it.

I swear.. You guys sleep with the lights on.....you are scared of everything.

If you spend five more years on loa93 you deserve it.

So basically the company (IMO) can come back and use anything they want as force majeure.

Oil goes up 1 cent - hey force majeure and you're furloughed

CEO needs a new BMW - hey force majeure and you're furloughed

Put a no furlough section and leave out the force majeure and I'll be more inclined, but with the force majeure sentence following every no furlough clause I've ever seen and they aren't worth the paper they're written on.

More scared of the dark!

And yet more scared of the dark....the whole airline gets traded out 320'sfor 190's....330's for 190's.....767 for 190's

All the while delta and UAL are adding 737 and 320....

Your gonna cost yourself huge unless you grow a pair.....

Not to mention management doesn't even use any of that his/her K Y when they do it.
