If the LLCers last 100% station went away what would happen?

Would there only be 25% and 4/10 cities pursuant to the original Kasher award and AAs current operations?

Josh

Kasher would need to be figured out for all LAA stations under a JCBA.

All current Kasher decisions remain.

Pardon me for asking, but where to you obtain this information which is current? I know it much be especially difficult with the aircraft swaps on any given day between LAA and LUS metal, so simply looking at a given day and multiplying it out for the year would be suspect, not to mention, seasonal changes in flight schedules.

Union gets reports every January and July, which includes the annual departures as well as the monthly breakdown.

 

[NYer]

I believe Cross utilization does come into play. When we entered into the interim wage agreement the association got language that secured the jobs in any station where cross utilization is used. So as long as A station implemented the cross utilization language that station should be protected.

Only if the change in employee level was due to metal swaps. In this case, it would be due to current TWU contractual language.

This is from the interim wage agreement. What are you referring to?

It says something like, to the extent not modified by this agreement all other provisions of the IAM and TWU CBA's remain in full affect.

Scope language was not modified.

To my understanding that means that station protection is enacted. All OTHER provisions remain.

Do you are saying that the flight threshold language stays the same?

Yes.

 

[LuxuryLiner]

Yes.

Why hasn't the TWU forced the company to staff CLT which has about 60 LAA mainline a day and PHL which has around 35 daily....both way over the threshold for TWU staffing....they did it for PHX.

As of January, PHL was at about 5,100 and CLT was in the 5,600 range.

They need to reach the 7,300 level to restaff.

PHX shot up to be over 13,000

CLT has been over 7300 for a very long time

Only mainline LAA metal qualifies, they're a little over 5,600 as of January.

Mainline LUS and regionals do not count towards threshold.

The closest current station is EWR and they're basically at 7,000.

CLT has 60 AA 737s

That's 35 LAA mainline flights as day, and all the TWU got were 2 gates for PHX FSCs? 4-5 gates would be a better representation.

Believe they recalled everyone but are using the cross-utilization agreement to fill in the rest.

There about 26 TWU FSC in PHX.
