Jenny--
Ground pay (or lack thereof) aside, isn't there some language in your cba about helping on turn cleans? If not, did there used to be? I seem to remember an F/A telling me about it, but this was 5 or 6 years ago....

The only thing stopping him from applying and/or being hired as an AMT the last few years was that he would have been behind hundreds of guys waiting to be recalled....
Union-wise, the only "policy" in effect would have been once he was an AMT in AMFA, he would have lost any seniority accrued under the IAM (prior to the split he would have retained it).
[quote name='Work'n short' post='366336' date='Mar 24 2006, 03:36 PM']So far,not one farm out company wants the bid around here....too much liability with the tkt counter and handling money and so on....they all want the ramp without the tkt counter.[/quote]
I've been wondering how that would work in a 4 hour rule station...Getting guys to work the ramp is one thing; getting/training them to both jobs competently is another...Hopefully, it'll work out in your favor.
Gotta LOVE working for NWA
