Can any ramp employee tell me if USAirways pays a premium to employees working in high cost areas like DCA, BOS, PHL, LGA or EWR? I would like to work for US in DCA after US gets these new DL slots.
Thanks

To the best of my knowledge no they do not.

PHL new hires start out at a higher wage than new hires elsewhere then they go by our contract. Your answer is NO. Hope this clarify's your question? GF

The West used to have a "geographic differential". That was lost in the transition to the IAM agreement. It should be noted that the pay was likely increased by the new contract even without the differential. Some places (CA comes to mind) have a "living wage" law. In any of those areas the law would govern starting pay, but nothing more.

LGB & AUS...These were Mesa stations previously and LGB indicates that US is staffing it's USX system wide...which means bye bye Mesa Agents.

Does anyone have a link to the current Fleet Service contract and the Mechanic and related contract?

Thanks,

Before you try to figure anything out in the printed version, be sure to go to the iam141.org website to see the wrong info that is printed in the paper version.

Didn't we have mainline employees on the ground in these stations?

Got furlough letters at our station yesterday. Official closing date of ICT for fleet service is Oct 8.

Wow, it's like open season on ramp agents nowadays. Didn't the company have to wait until 2010 to start closing down stations?

What cities are available to work at in the furlough packet?

Originally those cities were not suppose to close prior to dec. 31, 2011 which is ironically when the contract is up for negogiations. But as we all know USAIRWAYS DOES NOT KEEP TO THEIR WORDS! I hope the union is fighting the closings. As for cities Id imagine clt and phl for starters may be DCA Not sure but may be BOS too for places to go to

CLT,PHL,MHT,DFW,MCI,MSY,DCA

Those are off the top of my head. Maybe a couple other cities. The amount of openings in each city is not revealed to us, so that MGMT can fill the holes they need through the bid process.
