Grievances on Seniority Boarding

[2BorNot2B]

As a commuter for 9 years, I use the jumpseat as my way to get to work along with open seats when available. Do I wish the mechanic and his family going to Disneyworld would allow me to cut in front of them so I could get to work, yes, is it fair to do that to them, no. Commuting is a choice you take the bad with the bad. Entitlements are for the weak, put your hand back in your pocket and put your chin up.

Exactly! I commuted for 12 yrs.! Extremely stressful ...BUT! ... I elected to do so! Most folks live near their jobs, and that makes sense.If one elects to place their job in jeapardy by voluntarily commuting without paying the full price for a ticket .. that is their own decision! :angry:

What's the big deal? Unions are dinosaurs and impede progress.

Save it for your Country Club interview. Oh, and don't forget to slap another "W '04" bumper sticker on your leased Beamer before you show up for it. Better pick up lunch too, on your Visa card that you've nearly maxed out buying everything Ann Coulter has ever written.

ClueByFour points out: the union non sequitur aside, it seems that there are various contractual issues directly governing this. Your interpretation that it is a "privilege" and thus non-negotiable is simply incorrect.

Nice spin, though!

I haven't had a chuckle like this in a very long time...
Man/Lady...You nailed that one!

"Give that man a cigar". You are EXACTLY correct. Flight privileges are just that, PRIVILEGES, and the company can do whatever they want. Don't get your panties in a wad because what the company giveth, they can taketh away. US has some of the best flight privileges in the industry.

As usual, sir, you are off base. Your name does not include, "lass", does it?

I believe the phrase, "past practice", as well as CBA language, can be quite compelling in the event of a unilateral change.

Go ahead and try to change it. See how well your little regional does, then.

Just curious then why did they agree to it in our contract? Also, if they are not to be negotiated, how does management get Space Positive for them and family, even after they are no longer employed with the company? Did someone just arbitrarily decide to let them do that or did they negotiate it into their contract when they signed on?

EXACTLY!! 🙄
