American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

[WeAAsles]

I read it as only THIS Memorial day.

That is how I read it as well.

So should the Association accept it if that’s the case or should the Company be told to take a hike?

Yeah great idea let’s just say no we don’t want what is essentially a bonus for working the holiday. A yeah, screw that’s this freaking Ass is already throwing away money I say hell ya take it

Yeah why wouldnh you??? I dont get it

 

[WeAAsles]

I dont understand it ,its an interim bone why wouldnt you take it what is attached to tbe offer that makes you noy want it

I owned a Labrador for 14 years that I named Guinness. You train a Dog by giving him treats. Dogs love treats and will roll over, play dead, fetch and you can even train a Dog not to take the treat putting it right on his very nose.

I prefer to have a Meal, not a treat.

Them.is some pretty powerful words for the NMB or PEB or Judge or what ever "well meet any other airlines contract language" powerful indeed

The lawsuit has no merit. Its not a mechanics union. It's a fleet service union. Maybe it's not a union at all.

Do you honestly have even an ounce of a clue how chitty a Contract you would have had if we hadn’t done that Arbitration crap that the Pilots and FA’s were roped in to doing?

You really should start following some of their pages to realize how pissed off they are.

Go ask an FA how much they’re enjoying their “Hard 40”?

They have been enjoying contract improvements for years, now they’re getting ready to start section 6 openers. Unlike us who have not enjoyed contract improvements for years.

The hard 40 was put in because they voted down contract extension when all the bookface know it alls said vote it down the company will give us everything we want. Except the fact is voting down only sent certain items to arbitration which the union lost on every item with arbitration

Hard to feel sorry for a workgroup getting full benefits and upset they have to work 40 hours a month.

It looks like Morgan Stanley may have been somewhat prophetic this morning?

Not sure what this means?

Thank you i really would like you to explain it to me turning down money...what am i missing no sarcasm absolutely serious

That is how I read it as well.

Memorial day for now why dont you want it?Youll get the other days when we get a contract what are you giving up?

Because giving out the one single Holliday is only meant to hopefully placate and soothe the Members if they really were engaged in any job actions before the Summer. It’s also incredibly manipulative how they worded it at the end where they state that they hope the Association will accept it.

It’s an attempt to paint a picture that the Union is the bad guys if they don’t give their Membership the little crumbs.

For us in Fleet it’s an extra $369.72 before Taxes for the day. I grossed $69,000 last year Al. I’m not stupid enough to roll over for $369.72 cents.

Again all or nothing. And I mean all 10 at Double time and a Half for all Association Members.

I’m glad you’re no longer working on Aircraft that I might fly on. Please don’t touch a wrench ever again.

If you only knew!!
