Having not worked for the airline now for a few years, I only have one thing to say, If in any way, in the long years of negotiating you give up one thing... at all, then this is a concessionary contract... and should be voted down... No discussion... period... You don't negotiate a contract...

The truth be told. Merger or NO Merger. The airline is destined to go by the way of the company. The pilot group with their seniority differences, The flight attendant group with their inability to stand up for themselves, The IAM and their inability to get long term maintanance issues resolved...

First and foremost.. With all that is at stake... No one is taking the relationship between East/West as a dividing issue. Nor, will it... Your concern that the east has the majority of numbers is correct, however that would only come to issue should the union allow a T/A to come to the F/A's...

I find it amazing, you are fixated on whether AFA is going to be around, if MF or CA are going to negotiate for you, or the outcome of the election in PHL. This is not the time for you to worry about the "SMALL" stuff. Look to the previous post. The company starting very soon will have to...

"Be Careful What You Wish For"... It is nice to see you take my post completely out of context... All of these rants and raves are of the past... What was...Who did... Who didn't... To the first part I was only saying the PITBULL was the only rep who stood up to the company... Whether she was...

Pitbull is only stating her opinion... just like yours or mine... It is just an opinion... so take it as such... Facts are Facts... Nothing has changed since 2000 and 2011... The company is still in financial trouble... and seeking your contract to make up money... Nothing has changed... If you...

Well folks, It's been 9 months since I left. Has anything changed for you. Nope... The bickering, the he said, she said... The shrinking of PIT... The unbelievable weather... No COB for the Pilots, F/A's, Mech.,... Nothing... Nothing at all... You see, some time in your life, you will ask...

It is so nice not having to deal with the contract issues anymore now that I have retired. That said, I feel very sorry for those still with the company and dealing with the upcoming contract. Or so you should hope. Some of you have mentioned on this post of recalling the negotiators. Bad move...

Yep, A tri-merger with JB, LCC, AMR It will be call BlueAmWays... Just my opinion...

To truly understand your way of thinking, you must first look at what you have posted already... You've said that: 1. You won't place a vote on a tenative... Period... regardless of what it says... 2. You aren't sure how Pref bid will effect you, or that the most senior will benefit the most...

I love the dreams you all have of what to do with the union... However, they are all dreams... and worst off, you won't do anything about it! For years, I have been talking about getting rid of AFA.... always fall on deaf ears... For years, I have been talking about getting rid of certain...

I just thought I would toss in my own two cents... As you know I retired a few months ago... Yet still keep in touch with all my friends... To truly understand the frustration, you must understand yourselves. When you elected your MEC officers, MF to speak of, you elected him knowing what was...

Folks, you have been screaming for change for years. There is not one person who works for LCC as a F/A that hasn't. The problem is the change will come and not all of you will like the change. To make effective change to your working environment you must look at what is best for the long term...

Guess what people, there is life after you leave the airline... and it's all good.... It has been about a month and a half since I left... I am sleeping better... I am alot calmer... No stress... It's all good... When you put your mind to the idea of leaving, you aren't sure whether you can...

Well guys and gals, After 28 years of flying, I called it quits today. Went down to CLT to turn in ID and manual... No more commuting... Yea.... For those that know me, It has been great working with you... We have seen alot of changes through the years... Some good... Some not so good.... Any...
