I've seen both contracts since I am a CAL mechanic. I do agree you guys at CAL ramp got a disastrous T/A, but it wasn't because the ibt gave it all to us mechanics. We got sold a bill of goods also. We get more vacation probably because that is the industry standard maintenance wise, we have absolutely NO scope, OT is the average standard OT anybody would get and the signing bonus was the carrot on the stick to get the majority to vote in this crap the ibt came back to us with. Don't blame the mechanics for a worse than garbage job the ibt has done for you, blame the ibt.
I am no iam fan, they are scabs in my eyes, but so is the ibt. If I was a ramper, the iam would be my choice. They have done more for the ramp than the ibt will ever do.
Look at the USA mechanics agreement and compare it to the first fleet contract, and look and both agreements now. The mechanics agreement at USA is by far superior.
