Ramp at American get a Tentative Agreement

[NYer]

The ramp workers at AA seemed to have agreed to a Tentative Agreement:

It includes a 6% signing bonus // a total of 9% raise over 4 years // 10 Holidays at double time // the current employees keep their Pensions and the new hires get a 401K // They keep Retiree Medical, but will pay $59 per person for the coverage once they retire // The keep a restriction on commuter flights, needed only 7 flights to keep the stations from being outsourced // they will lose 1300 positions with the elimination of Cabin Services, Bus Drivers and Fuelers.

What do you think?

To clarify, the 1300 positions are going away, but the people in those jobs are not. They will be moved to other positions within their respective cities.

AA "hopes" that retirees and attrition take care of these numbers. Add an increase in Eagle flying and bumping/layoffs begin.

perhaps a moderator could move this thread to an American airlines thread?
