[background=rgb(245, 245, 245)]Charlotte Domicile Update

We have heard your Concerns[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 245)]We have received many calls of concern from our pilots regarding membership ratification of any changes in our collective bargaining agreement along with many other current events that are affecting your union and potential changes to your working conditions. As promised in our latest Domicile Update, on July 31, 2012 at 1615 we sent the enclosed BPR Special Meeting request to President Hummel requesting specific items on the agenda to deal with all the concerns we have been confronted with. This meeting is a transparent attempt to allow participation from all our pilots to offer their input and advice on how your union proceeds if a potential merger comes to fruition.[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 245)]We look forward to hearing from President Hummel in the near future regarding this meeting with the goal of addressing these agenda items sooner, rather than under time constraints later. We have all learned what occurs during attempted cram down time and we live every day under LOA 93 to understand the consequences. Some members of the BPR while stating support of membership ratification appear resistant to proactively dealing with the issues that have been brought to our attention by our pilots. Rather than discussing the issues included in this agenda, they are in fact debating that BPR members may not have the authority to call for a meeting on a specific date. This meeting is a common sense approach in our eyes, as there are a vast amount of issues and problems that need resolved regarding any future agreement that may be coming down the pike. This will allow all of us the opportunity to work on the strategic planning required to attain our goals as well as bring transparency for all to the process.[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 245)]Considering the important nature of the listed agenda items below, especially our commitment to memorialize your right to vote on any agreement related to a potential merger with American Airlines, we are hopeful that the other Representatives will join us in our call for this meeting.[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 245)]Once President Hummel officially calls this meeting, we look forward to your attendance and participation rather than being relegated to a spectator seat in this process.[/background]

The panic is that last update is palpable. Looks like a deal with the company and APA is just around the corner and its a deal the CLT guys don't like.

Nic is it boys.

And forget about your base fence crap. Ain't going to happen.

You mean you are praying it won't happen. Truth is, it could happen. Depends on how much money lines who's pockets. Look at the bright side. You guys were so worried about East guys moving into the PHX base. Problem solved 🙂

Upps, sorry. Forgot about the West union. I wouldn't expect "AOL legal" to do anything else. That's how they make the Beamer payments!

No one here is worried about you eastholios moving west. We, unlike you guys, understand what comes with a merger and accept the good with the bad.

It's you idiots who seek to only benefit from this merger at our expense.

And I'm 100% sure you're not getting base fences. APA is asking for a year for only their bases and that's all Parker is going to give them.

Ya. That's the one that's kept you on LOA93 this whole time.

Let's talk about that! With East AND West at minimum fleet count, I don't see much of a benefit anywhere. And with base fences, the West pilots would be free to enjoy the attrition they brought with them to the merger...you know, on the PID date! We will only keep what WE brought...how's that?

Now don't use angry fingers in your response, OK?

🙂

 

[Move2CLT]

Where does the bankruptcy you brought to this merger come into play?

Good point!

Then nothing we brought had value and you shouldn't want any part of it. Right?
Enjoy your career in PHX and we will just continue picking up the pieces over here on the East coast.

AOL legal....are we talking about the Unripe Gang? Are you idiots seriously still employing the guys who were so inept they took you to the cleaners and the 9th for the next embarrassment for 2 million?

 

[luvn737s]

I think the west was only looking for their proportional benefits from the merger. However the west bears all the cost by being forced to support a tyrannical union and the east reaps 100% of the benefits because they have the numbers to delay and thus deny what had been arbitrated.

Are you satisfied with your 100%?

 

[luvn737s]

Is Hummel negotiating with the APA to pay Seham?

 

[Claxon]

Ya. That's the one that's kept you on LOA93 this whole time.

Like the good scabs you have always been.
Next time you share a van with the western scabs ask them if America West was their first choice of jobs. They will squirm uncomfortably in their seats. Especially U Haul and Nicforlorn4us.
