Been reading for a while and finally decided to register, and I'm asking what I think is the biggest question that should have been asked that hasn't. If the 141 vote is a "No", what happens? I've asked several people on the ramp, and he's some of the answers:
"We renegotiate. They need us to transition."
"Section 6 negotiations start on the West contract."
"We roll into the current USAir CBA with no changes."
"I dunno."
And that last one is the most honest. What DOES happen? Everyone has their own ideas, and most, even though the ideas themselves vary, can all be based on logical thinking. So, here's the deal. I want to know what happens if the vote is "No". I encourage ANYONE to answer, be it a ramper, IAM, US Airways, somewhere else, where ever. But there are two rules. The first is that you must provide the facts that say so. And second, the source of the facts must be provided as well.
I ask this because I can't get a straight answer consistantly, and have NEVER heard anyone say "Well (insert scenario here) will happen, and here's why. If you look at (insert source) you will find that it specifies (insert result) will happen."
Everyone single person has their own agenda. That doesn't mean that they're corrupt or dishonest. What it DOES mean is that two people may see things in their own viewpoint. We're all human, and that's a quality of humanity. We see what we want. And that's why I want the facts to support it. Actually that's not the only reason. The other reason is that I don't trust anyone. I know the company will put their own spin on it. So will the IAM. Rampers that got screwed over will put it in their light. Some people are just militant. I don't want that. I want the truth.
