Hopeful;
I knew it would be you, or possibly AAquila, that "broke" the news first.

So with out further adieu,

"Hopeful, YOU are the proud recipient of an authentic autographed picture of (the) Don Carty, and (baby Crandall) Gerard Arpey"

Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!

or as they say on Mulberry street, in NYC,
"FUGGETABOUTIT" !!!!!!!!!

NH/BB's
 
Attended the Station Manager's meeting at JFK. PERMANENT is the key word. Try getting any of these concessions back in contracts down the road.


Thanks NH/BB's:

By the way can you make that autographed picture of Carty and Arpey into toilet paper?
 
A VP was at our station, and he assured us that AA wanted permanent work rule changes. They don't expect the unions to agree to permanent pay cuts, but work rule changes would be permanent.
I am also in shock. Basicly they want to be able to outsource where ever they want to. The remaining jobs will be part-time, and when they lay you off there will be no $12,500, no severance, just a boot in the ass. I see why they rejected it from the beginning. Voting "YES" to anything close to this is very much like slitting your own throat.
 
I am in shock at this:

Eliminate UBP - All Union business coded to UB or UBC $1.7 MM


I thought is was against the law for AA to financially assist the union?

$1.7 Million to fund union business, while the union collects 2 hours pay per month to fund this activity, who the hell has been running this place anyway?
 
I am one to give credit when credit is due.

The TWU should be given KUDOS for the sending of this crap back to the company. The company fools are too stupid to see the damage the "SRP" program has already done, and now want to expand it???

A Bankruptcy Judge would give us better than this!

However, the secret negotiations and length of time to communicate lacks good representation skills.
 
Work reg of 5:2 for dispatch and meteorologists? Ouch... At least I didn't see any indication they were trying to outsource the meteorology like they've been trying to do.

Hey, I know those are small potatoes issues, but they are important to some.

But reading this thing, I can see why it was sent back like a badly-cooked meal.

Peace!
 
How the hell does having a crew chief selection committee save $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Aren't they generous only seeking 1% in "chart rates?"

Bottom line is the company knows this will be rejected and therefore will be directing the bankruptcy lawyers into preparing the Chapter 11 paperwork.

Something of this magnitude will only be FORCED not PASSED!

And before this crap happens, I predict a Judge will be in control not CARTY, ARPEY, or HALL.
 
I just love this part "Modify Article 1 to allow the outsourcing of any work function
within Title I/II or to accommodate the sale of any portion of the
operation"


Does this mean that Tulsa will now become AMR services of Tulsa a wholly owned subidary of AMR corp???
