AA employees get 4% raises

For AAs AMTs to be industry leading, the raise would have to be 20 -25 percent - easy. I have a feeling we will remain the lowest paid. This brought to you, courtesy of the TWU - and the hole dug for us. AA AMT pay and benefits are so far below the rest, a recovery to industry average - let alone industry leading would be a miracle.
No, force him to give it to everyone. Like I said if he gave it to non-union then there is nothing that can really be said, but to give it to one group that has a contract, and to arbitrarily punish those that don't is another story. Its not as if there was any notice of what needed to be done before the fact.Glenn Quagmire said:

Exactly. Let's also remember that base rates in a CBA are the floor, not a ceiling. Nothing stopping DP including the other groups today.
Its a bad thing when its a Union busting scam and only some get it. Only some people got it on top of their contractual obligations, not everyone. You are aware that we all have contracts that were modified once already to facilitate this merger aren't you? Will the 4% be paid Retroactively? I didn't see that anywhere.bigjets said:
Like I said Parker had a chance to prove he was trustworthy, but he blew it with all the Unions except the APFA.
The airline industry includes UPS and WN. UPS includes us in their comparisons, so does WN and until recently we included them. Now the Company an false Unionists want to confine the industry as only carriers that have filed for BK. Problem is that WN and UPS is a more realistic reflection of true market rates because those rates were determined through a much more level fielded negotiations and not the very biased bankruptcy process.Vortilon said:
Shouldnt the correct title have been "(SOME) AA Employees get 4% raises? " Or even better "Less than half".CMH_GSE said:
Since the APFA is the only Unionized group getting it isn't he pretty much lumping them in with all the non-union workers?

While I for one appreciate the 4%. I do need to question why only one unionized work group received the raise along with the non union employees. If as stated by Doug, it was for us employees ALL, going above and beyond, exceeding expectations, then why not do it across the board. I represent exactly what Doug is wanting to pay, one of those employees. Yet I have zero control over the IAM, TWU, or this thing called the "Association". Indeed, if Doug wants me to trust him and earn his respect, Union or not, JCBA or not, either give me my 4% now like the flight attendants and other "non" union employees, or make it retro back to Jan 5th when the raise actually goes into affect. Pretty simple solution, Doug!

...and from Jan. 5th until the TWU, IAM or the Association stop their nonsense, we will be held hostage and not realize the extra 4% earnings other work groups both union and non union are enjoying. And keep in mind, this is not a negotiated item.NYer said:
Its all on the table. Show me where our contracts stipulates the number of mechanics AA will have. The fact is that their mechanic to aircraft ratio has not changed as much as ours and they have never laid anyone off or taken away pay.
Figures you would be justifying this Union Busting move. Whatever AA wants you are in favor of.NYer said:
