COMPANY'S PROPOSAL.
"Now keep in mind that this is only the Company's proposal. Negotiations haven't really begun yet!!"
"Well boys, get out the vaseline (the sandy variety) cause it is as expected, Amer West Contract only worse. Brief Synopsis: PILOTS: Company wants a $1.5billion reduction, $400mill to come directly from pilots. Company steals your sick leave if u have over 500 hours. 600 hour max sick bank; All narrow body a/c types pay the same rate..$137 an hour, 96 hour hard time (virtually hard time), f/o's rate approx $90 per hour. Reserve guarantee is around 77 per month. 757 ilots will take the worst hit. Reserve 757 capts to make $127K per yr. Duty rigs altered. Possiblitity of flying 5 days a week unless scheduling can get a handle on it. Furlough clase to be reopened. Retirement DC plane cirtually elimintated (to be reduced substantially). Augmented with 401K with 7% matching funds from company. Reduced medical benefits.
FLIGHT ATTENDANTS: F/A's to clean all planes. Pay rates adjusted downward to Amer West Scale. Retirement reduced. Medical reduced. NO 55,75,85 hr options. Unlimited duty day to FAR max.
RESERVATIONISTS: Furlough 680. Move remaining reservationists to INT.
TICKET AGENTS: Kiosks and ticket readers to cause layoffs in hubs. City Ticket Offices (all 11) to be closed. To be replaced by internet ticketing. Reduce ticket agent pay from $20 hr to $13 hr.
PILOT TRAINING: Close PIT TRNG CENTER incld the sim building. Move all trng to CLT. Selling one 737 sim, one A320 sim, buying multiple RJ sims to be located in CLT. 757 Sim to be relocated to CLT.
MECANICS: Fewer changes than the rest of the work force.. with the exception of possible outsourcing of some maintenance. Possibility of terminating CLT and PIT as major overhaul centers. But keeping PIT/CLT for other maintenance.
CLEANERS/UTILITY: Force cleaners/utility to become "joint use cleaners and rampers" under the same job title.
MDA FLYING: To increase. Possiblity of selling B-373's to be replaced with mainline flown big RJ's. LOA#91: Allows Uair to sell MDA, PSA, Allegheny, Henson, and future Canadair CRJ positions if needed to finance possible addition of 29 Airbuses of all sizes if load factor dictates.
More details to follow." End of quote from an email sent to me.
