profit sharing checks already deposited

[US JETFIXER]

my check has been deposited east mechanic

We are not going to rehash this. The company did not promise you anything. Our AFA East MEC voted without the memberships approval to share it with the West. It was a hard earned little morsel for us after 2 bankruptcies and parking half our fleet. It was agreed to like it or not but make no mistake, had the membership on the East had a vote, it would not have passed. That check will never make up for the $12,000 a year paycut I took. Frankly a slap in the face on several fronts. Enjoy it and don't spend it all in one place. And try not to spend it on bills.

I am w/ you on not starting an East/West argument again...but wasn't part of the AFA Eat sharing agreed upon so they would open up their bases? (no fence) That's not happening now is it ?

Mine was deposited last night sometime after 1800. It is there now.

Can you show me anywhere in the language where it says it SHOULDN'T?

So even though we do fleet service WORK for a company called USAIRWAYS we are not entitled to the profits of USAIRWAYS? Even though we are not a part of your contract, we are still a part of the USAIRWAYS FLEET SERVICE!

If you don't think it's fair WE get a cut too, maybe you can fly your happy butt out here and load the east bags yourselves then, and service your east planes yourselves then and we will stop using the east computer system.

I'm getting tired of unloading 60 bags from the very BACK of the forward bin anyways.

Ok how about this then: We will continue to pay money to the IAM, a union that does NOT A THING for us, and we will continue to recieve nothing in return! Does that seem a little more fair to you? Is that worth having an extra 50 dollars in your profit sharing check?

So Chill what your saying to Randy Canale is go ahead continue to vilolate union members contracts? For anyone to allow a union leader to vilolate a contract is a foolish move if you let them get away with that perhaps Randy Canale will look the other way on other Contract Terms taking money away from you next.

I read some talk about how Canale refuses to reopen section 6 for the West. My friend my I suggest you direct you anger at Randy Canale and District 141 get on his butt you guys are looking at a prime example of Canale doing what he wants, not what you want.
He doesnt listen to the membership and should be held accountable.

The east supports you guys in getting a fair contract with big wage increases and solid language we are not your enemy but to allow Canale to do contract vilolations is just setting your self up for more bad things to come.

Canale is suppose to enforce contracts not break it.

My stub arrived yesterday (14th) and is dated the 17th. I have direct deposit, so I checked my account online and it shows the deposit ON THE 17TH.
So, obviously, the money isn't there and can't be spent - until monday.

I received my profit sharing check yesterday direct deposited right along with my paycheck. While I don't want to hash out an east/west thread either it STILL irks me. We gave SO much and the agreement was to receive profit sharing due to all of the money we gave up. I'm not saying west hasn't sacrificed but it was OUR agreement. Many can ask if we'd even HAVE a profit sharing check had the merger NOT happened. Well that's beside the point. It was a negotiated item and OUR east MEC GAVE it up without asking his members. I'm not against sharing and we're all in this rat trap together but again it was something given away without our approval. To wrap it up....I'm using this money for FUN. It's FOUND money.

Well, in this case it helps the membership, so I'm not going to get fired up at the east or carnale. Trust me, we are plenty fed up with him AND our lack of a contract as well.

But bottom line is, we did the work, we should get a cut, contract or not, and you guys should welcome it if you guys say you want to be united with us.

The contention shouldn't be that the west participated in profit sharing, but rather, why did Randy Canale 'hoodwink' fleet service by striking deals that gave fleet so much less of the profits? It may be that Randy is just uneducated on this stuff but I think he genuinely just doesn't care.

I mean fleet's profit sharing is like 9% even though it has a payroll that is far superior to the mechanics, customer service, and stews. For 200 mill, fleet gets 9%, The customer service people get almost double even though their payroll is millions less. The mechanics get almost triple even though their payroll is millions less also. Just inequitable but that is Boss Canale's middle name.

Actually, regarding the fact that West gets it too, the whole thing is abysmal.

I regard it as small recompense for West F/as loss of their right to a contract. Two and 1/2 years later from Section 6 and somehow their pilots are allowed to return to Section 6 but they're not. From what I understand that was taken from them by an arbitrator. Another arbitrator on his way to hell.

If there was any justice, they would be able to break off and negotiate their own contract, and not be tied to ours which goes to 2011. Kudos to the AWA guys for saying enough is enough.

AFA had no right to give away our profit sharing, but they also should have fought like hell for the right of AWA f/as to continue negotiating their contract. Our minimal profit sharing check is a slap in the face as a palliative factor. I'm sure they would rather have had their improved salary and work rules than our profit sharing.

Something about this has always smelled bad to me.

checks in the bank as of this pm eastern time....half of what I got last year....this sucks.

Just checked my online account and YES..deposited last night!

It was almost exactly the same amount as last year. But, the only reason it was the same or anywhere near last years' amount was because I reduced my 401 % deductions to 0% for this transaction.

Perhaps you did not adjust it and that is why it was less $?? The pool of $$ was about 18% less than last year.
Hope this info helps explain? 🙂

 

[Hey.. Chill Out]

The west should be cut out just because of CONTRACT LANGUAGE? Come on, give me a break. WE STILL DID THE SAME WORK ANY OF YOU DID!

The fact that we were included is LOGICAL.

Im sorry you guys took cuts, but that is not the fault of the WEST!
