JCBA Negotiations and updates for AA Fleet

[NYer]

NYer you guys do have a lot of people and a lot of managers. Wolf got rid of everybody after 9/11  and we remained that way until now. What I don't understand is how you took all the cuts and still pay a contract company to  give out gloves and vests. You have a company that maintains first aid kits now I understand that in hubs but in smaller cities? All that stuff should  have gone before you gave back one dime

 
We have more FTers and less PTers than we did at 9/11. On the Managers side, that has exploded since the merger.

 

[WeAAsles]

Not saying I'd go but we do have a older workforce  a decent buyout would make sense.If they bridged health care I think a lot would leave but is that too costly?

At the time of the merger on the AA side the average age was about 50. It may scue a little younger now because all Departments have been hiring except maybe maintenance.

They're looking for 115 FT heads in DFW and according to some they're already overstaffed and OT is dead. DFW probably has the oldest members of any of the Hubs. What does that tell you?

Do you want me to apply common sense? Not in this business It tells me they are going to be way, way overstaffed. No possibility of a buy out

Tim where the heck is this trilogy of yours? We are waiting. I mean the first two didn't really look like epic productions actually they looked like a drunken stupor

"Strike that, reverse it" As Willy Wonka used to say.

Need to get the newbies up online and proficient before you can let the old foggies on to that Sunset Golf course.

You might wind up being the King Dog in the yard once they pasture out the toothless hounds there in LGA?

 According to Tim if they watched you they would be picking up some bad habits. Tell me it isn't so Weez

Stay away from my gate bro. We're putting you on an encoder box. But check out D21 777 inbound at 14:30. We did that plane first today. It took us an hour and 20 minutes to dump with 4 guys. Very hot out too.

Sometimes we get moved. We'll probably do that next turn and that will be it? Unless the next one comes in before 20:30. We're off at 21:15.

Do a
RGT MIA D17 1300 2359
This will filter just that gate for that time period.

Is the "moving" done fairly?
