Us Airways, Flight Attendants Deal Near

Glad to see you have once again proved that you have no idea of what is going on.

Management makes the manpower and tells the leads how many fleet service per gate.

2 hours out of 8? Now you really need to be sent for a drug test.

And lets talk about work, Auto-Pilot does most of YOUR work now doesn't it? What about Auto-throttles and Auto-Braking?

Don't see auto loaders, auto-cleaners or auto-fixers now do we?

Funny if you get paid to fly then why do 95% of pilot refuse to take an airplane when the auto-pilot is on MEL?

And you really need to get out there and see how everyone is busting their butts to keep this airline afloat.

And if you think that 3,000 people should just vote themselves out of a job to save yours, then why don't you visit everyone of their houses and explain that to their families, explain why they should get laid-off so you can keep making $150,000 a year and a 10% DCP, while they are faced with poverty. These people are deciding to pay the mortgage or put food on their table. Yes it is about families and that is why the IAM and its members are fighting for the best deal they can achieve and if it cant be achieved then so be it and this place goes out of business.

No group on this property is being asked to sacrifice as much as the IAM Mechanic and Related.

Why don't you let Mesa fly all the narrowbodies to help lower costs?

See that is the equivalent of what US Airways is asking the Mechanic and Related to do.

And I hope you feel safe with Billy Joe Bob unlicensed mechanic overhauling the plane you will be flying or shall I say the plane you will be babysitting since the computers fly it for you.

The FAA is all over ST MAE@BFM for their shoddy work on 7 out of the first 12 airbii they overhauled.

But see once again I don't expect any pilot to understand of give a crap about 3,000 people being asked to vote their jobs away to a bunch of executives who have only been here a few years while the workers have been here for 10+.

Let the IAM and its members decide their own fate like the IAM has done to ALPA, instead all we hear is pilots like UYH,320PP and now yourself to tell everyone else to sacrifice themselves to save your jobs.

Ain't gonna happen.

I find it interesting that you need to purposely mispronounce Usernames, which is an insult, to try and address your point. Your attitude and the "tough guy" mentality is going to cause very "painful" ramifications for IAM members and what is sad is that it could have been avoided.

but the 3 IAM units are apparently not even close to an agreement. I wonder why? Could it be failed union leadership again?

Thank for proving my point 100% that you have no idea of what is going on, who is near a T/A and who is not.

You are not an IAM member, you are not a Mechanic, Utility, Stock Clerk, Fleet Service nor a Maintenance Training Specialist nor a member of any negotiating committee but yet you pontificate to the whole board you know what is transpiring.

Once again you have no clue of what has taken place at CCY or will take place, you need to really keep your nose out of IAM business where it does not belong.

When you become a spokesman for the IAM, we all ready know you are one for the company then why don't you inform of the boards of what is going on, but I like I said you have no clue to who is near a T/A or who might have one all ready, that you are not privy too.

Leadership is taking its direction from the membership. You want to talk about Leadership? How about your past MEC that agreed with the company and had your pension terminated (without a membership vote), wow with leadership like that why don't you just decertify ALPA and form a company union, oh wait ALPA is all ready a company union.

Been waiting for the IAM "Pain" that you have been telling us all about for 6 months now.

I find it interesting that you are obsessed with the IAM and its members. I find it interesting that you post false information time after time after time. I find it interesting that you Loved Dave Siegel, then hated him for terminating your pension and you said shut this place down, alpa will go on strike and you were leaving and taking a foreign flying job, I find it interesting that you are still here then. I find it interesting then you loved Dave S again.

And don't worry if there is any "pain" to be dished out there will be a share for you too.

I believe the mechanics will strike if the judge abrogates the contract -- regardless of whether a strike is deemed to be legal (a question that, by all accounts, is up in the air). Furthermore, I believe such a strike will result in the company liquidating.

Do you agree with my assessment of what the mechs will do and the effect that will have?

Spindoc replies:

No. Everyone reading this forum now knows
that any strike talk is rhetoric and is only a
negotiating tactic. PITBull came close to
revealing that on another thread in this forum.
The company does not believe the unions
now that the AFA has discredited the strike
threat. The IAM and AFA both need to reach
an agreement and present a TA to their
membership, or Judge Mitchell will decide
for them. Simple.

SpinDoc replies:

Sooooo Mr. union savior, please enlighten us on
what has been discussed then. If things have
been discussed and you can share some of the
details, then maybe others on this forum will not
be so suspicious of your rhetoric and illogical
rantings.
 
SpinDoc:

Your comments are correct. In fact, the company is likely to seek deeper cuts because the strike talk has hurt bookings. Thus, to compensate for the lost revenue their must be deeper costs, probably from those unions without an agreement.

The AFA will be required to obtain $157 million in savings, maybe more, and the IAM could have to make up the difference via a consensual agreement or imposition. It's too bad, but all of this could have been avoided.

The S.1113© hearings are scheduled to end next week and this should all be over soon.

Nah, you fly boys will bend over and open your wallets again.

And yes it could have been avoided if the so called executives of this company adhered to the CBAs, treated the employees with respect and dignity and actually had the knowledge to run an airline instead of stealing from its employees.

Just as I thought. Either you really have no idea
what the IAM and the company have been
discussing, or you refuse to share details because
you like to talk tough on this forum without
having to back up your rhetoric.

We're waiting for the details Mr. Secret agent man.
 
I am not at liberty to discuss what is going on.

Would you like to wager about what I know or where I have been or what I am participating in?

There are a select few who know who I am and what I am currently doing.

The IAM does not negotiate through the media nor on message boards.
