Grassroots Efforts at DL for ACS and FAs, no personal attacks.

went right past your head.

no surprise.

Yes, early retirements very much do cost companies money. Look at their financial statements and see that they take special charges when they occur.

And the point is that AA is carrying employees on its books providing benefits when those employees don't produce work.

it IS a cost for a company to retain employees which it doesn't need by providing benefits but not getting work in return.

AA IS overstaffed and they wouldn't be offering a program like this if they weren't.

If you say so. Riiiigggghhhtttt. Man are you in for one rude awakening by the end of the year.

sorry but companies don't offer to keep employees on the payroll without working if they are properly staffed.

and, weaasles, while you live in a world which says that legacy airlines can't adapt to changing economic situations to ensure the company and employees profit, DL employees will be taking home healthy profit sharing.

enjoy your lower salary.

Oh right, right.

As far as unions go APFA is actually pretty good. Obviously I'd prefer the F/As be unorganized but compared to IAM they are member driven, well run and actually deliver for their constituents. They aren't a top heavy catch all organization with multiple tiers like the IAM. They don't own a Learjet, they don't have elaborate facilities (I've been to both), they cooperate with management and support things like the BA/JL ATI. Sure they have some bad apples and have done silly things like refuse to sell blankets and Heathrow Express tickets over the years but overall they do a good job.

What, you don't support having a permanent underclass of (co)workers at your carrier?

Wrong yet AGAIN have to work a total of 480 in a calendar year!!! Again I ask how many hrs can a DL fa's drop down to per month answers the question! They don't have to work a full sched!! Have you ever preached about hypocrites??

 

[Kev3188]

Silly you; who needs a say in one's career when you can have pink dresses, flash mobs, and hot dogs?

(sarcasm, of course)

P.S. Name dropping might score you points in other circles; here it just speaks of trying too hard...
