we have all seen the contract proposal tendered to mechanic and related....wow...wonderful thing....
lets hope it gets better.
i'd suggest you look under page 4..scope.....you see where they wish to outsource????
i know we all freaked out upon reciept of this "fair and equitable proposal " from U management... :down:
ok again..in this new environment...don't you think if IAM comes to some form of 'mutual
agreement' that there will be some type of mutually agreeable outsourcing???
i really don't think we can hold the line totally now as we have done in the past....look at the industry and what others are doing with their fleets.
if i am correct and i think this will come to some form.....
lets say U/IAM agrees to a 20% outsource of heavy.....if we give back some 15-25 aircraft..then that leaves us with a fleet of around anywhere from 257 to 267 aircraft down from some 282.
now kick in a 20% farm out we now have some 205 to 213 aircraft to maintain in house...c-q-and s checks......kick it up to 40% and it gets worse.
kick it down to only a-b-c-checks and you're screwed....
so tell me now my friends....do the math.....how many hangar facility's do we now need to maintain some 200 or less aircraft heavies???
and just where the heck do you think they will put them?? if at all??
did you notice on page 2 under compensation...there is a tickler that if furloughed....you go back to payscale postion one.....duh....looks to me like they plan somewhere down the road to move or consolidate heavy maintenace at some point...... and if you want to relocate to another base...its going to be at a dear cost...nice guys these corporate raiders.....you wanna move to PIT from CLT or vice versa and go back to $17.45 ???
do the math..
