Agreements Approved

Agreements Approved

ARLINGTON (theHub.com) - U.S. bankruptcy Judge Stephen S. Mitchell yesterday approved the new contract between US Airways and its approximately 5,200 flight attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA). The agreement saves the company $94 million annually, and the contract is next amendable in 2009.

Mitchell also approved agreements affecting medical benefits for retirees, represented by both a retiree committee and the International Association of Machinists (IAM). Details on those two agreements on retiree medical coverage will be mailed directly to affected retirees.

Separately, the majority of mechanics and FSA's I talk to will not support a strike because they would lose unemployment. It's better to have severance pay, buy outs, unemployment, COBRA, J4J, and recall rights than nothing.

Regards,

USA320Pilot

I have to agree with US320.......the vast majority of the Fleet Service Agents I have talked to support the cost cuts. The $17/hour rate is very appealing to most, as they realize......."What else is out in the job market that even comes close?"

USA320,

AFA contact is amendable in 2012.

i wonder how many of us in the mainline express would actually support a strike since we were sold out by the union. i am one wont because we were sold out with out the life preserver and the union dues has gone up to 15.25 but yet i make under 12.00 an hr i also would rather see the airline fly and beat swa at its own game anyway

Once again 320,

As an ALPA member, would you be a proponent of crossing pickets lines in the event of a lawful IAM sanctioned strike? It appears that you are.
