Have concessions started?

[AOG-N-IT]

Concessions and Retroactive Concessions have been taking place over the last 4 to 6 weeks...So the awnser is Yes!!

Has it had an immediate impact? No!!

People are still being shown the door...and it's as if there is no end to it in sight.

Has pay concessions started for anyone yet? It just seems there is alot of feet dragging going on. I''ve heard alot of talk about concessions and voting on TAs. But I never heard that the company had started taking money from the groups.

I was just wondering. Because here in Jax we (maintenance) have not heard about any concessions. Our last word was, we are loosing our RON aircraft in Jan. Meaning furloughs for half of the mechs. The other half have heavy maintenance untill June/July. Is U trying to save the WO too? or are they just keeping us afloat untill liquidation?

Once again, Oldtimer your statement shows me that the WO is not considerd part of U!

 

[oldtimer]

when did JAX get maintenance back? Last I heard, JAX only had ground maintenance, who also worked on A/C since the two mechanics were A&P qualified, but only if any aircraft problems happened during their hours of 0700-1530.

i thought that the concession and the fact that the debt of the planes in the desert was wiped clean was why they have 1.3 billion bucks...they say they down to 10 cents a mile now

[FONT face=System]Either your group, for some lucky or odd reason, has not started pay concessions yet(otherwise you wouldn't have asked), or you need to check with your accountant who oversees your paychex(otherwise you would have noticed the change on your paystub)..We(CWA) have had 3 paychex already decreased since OCT 1st.

Are you mainline or a WO? I am a WO mech and the IAM is telling us that we are not in negotiations for any concession. We are willing to work with the company but I'm not willing to send in a check if they dont ask.

[P]Mod, you just keep spinning those wrentches down there in JAX for the WO and mind your own business. If you didn't know about the state of concessions in the first place, then it didn't affect you. [/P]

If you would read my post I work for the WO Piedmont Airlines. We do have a maintenance base in Jax. So Why dont you get your facts straight before you call somebody a liar.We have about 70 mechs with 3 RONs and a heavy maintenance line.

[P]Those of us at mainline have had money taken out of our checks for quite a while now and have lost holidays and pay for remaining vacation time. Congrats on being able to remain status quo for your group so far. Enjoy it while it lasts though.[/P]

[P]As far as WO not being part of US, I didnt see where anyone said that. Someone read into it that JAX had maintenance. They probably just skipped your last line about keeping *us* around. What we could use is a little less drama around here. [BR][BR][/P]

[P]PI mechanics are in contract negotiations and you wont be in JAX much longer![/P]

Thank you so much for your very helpful suggestion. Hopefully everyone can adopt your sentiments. Maybe then we could put all this behind us and get on with our lives.
