Thanks,Nice to see you back on here Tim. Go read the AA forum, assuming this is representative of the AMTs at AA it should be a slam dunk for AMFA. They don't want IBT after seeing all the work they have outsourced at UAL, and IBT is raiding TWU at the moment.

Yes, contact your local chairperson, he/she has one that can be emailed to you. It's current as of June 30, 2012. A new one will come out January 31, 2013.Tim,
Good seeing you again.
As with all the stories about a merger and possible downsizing of various stations and alike, is there a seniority list for the various bases or even a national list for US FSAs which could be reviewed online? I might need to consider my options in the near future. Thanks.
UA voted the IAM out also at MX. Looks like this is going to shape up like a classic battle between the TWU/IBT/AMFA/IAM. All 4 will have something to win or lose. Whichever union can build bridges the best is the winner. 12,000 MX members are on the line and although the TWU may appear to have the inside track, I wouldn't bet on it. The IAM, imo, does have a solid base at US AIRWAYS MX so it won't need anything close to the majority if it can trigger yet another election after single certificate [presuming a merger].AMFA failed miserably at NW, and doesnt have a great track record at AS too, and UA AMTs voted them out.
And you have to remember the IAM has represented mtc at US since 1949, fleet since 1995.

Mergers, elections, and negotiations
Negotiations:
US AIRWAYS: Each update has said progress. Nothing could be further than the truth. All they have talked about is safety and some general tidbits. Nothing against the negotiation team but I don't believe management will move on any items until it knows any merger outcomes. If, there is a merger, then our hope should be that the IAM leadership doesn't take the same destructive path that it took on United when it conceeded the scope and United negotiation for a promise that backfired.
United: At this time, The IAM is the only bargaining agent that has not received anything over 4 years. Although each update over 4 years spoke of progress and "We are just this close", nothing has materialized due to the leverage lost during negotiations.
US AIRWAYS members need to watch closely on how your IAM leadership continues to mishandle the United talks and then review any T/A that may be signed. One thing is for sure, the strategy employed by the IAM leadership at United necessarily means the US AIRWAYS ramp will not see any contract for at least 5 years if there is a merger.
regards,
