There has been some hearsay concerning an actual third healthcare plan that the IAM owns in a similar way as their IAMPF?

Your Page is censored and Dead.

And your poll is irrelevant. There are over 18,000 FSC/Ramp Agents. 250 is pathetically minuscule.

Now again.

“Can you tell me exactly what my rate of pay will be on date of signing if I excepted AA’s offer?

Exact numbers in Dollars and cents.

What is the percentage raise next year and each subsequent year that I will get?

1%

2%

3%

4%

?????????”

TOP TEN REASONS TIM CAN'T POST THE LAST OFFER

1) The dog ate it along with his homework...

2) It is in the National Enquirer's Catch and Kill Vault...

3) Pelosi blocked it's release in the House of Representatives...

4) It was on a thumb drive, and the Russians hacked it...

5) He attempted to send it to Al for publishing, and it simply came back to his address...

6) It was inadvertently dropped into the laundry basket where it soon decomposed...

7) The bank teller dude put a dye pack in the bag with it -- it's now orange and illegible...

8) It was accidentally sent back to the 90's in a time machine, where it will be published in the next issue of "The Big Picture"...

9) It was confiscated by evil IAM union thugs that make way too much money...

10) The whole thing was a bluff, and he really never had it to begin with.

That is correct, the 'third option' will the all new Trumpcare plan... start saving now...

Heard recently that all AMT’s are going to be thrown into both the IAM Pension and the IAM Medical plans.

Fleet will have an excellent 401k match and Employer sponsored Medical at a reasonable cost instead.

incorrect. Not even proposed.

 

[Rogallo]

Are they tossing back a few, or what, when they think up this chit to write!!

F***ing Hypocrites!


From Special Jetwire this am.

 

[Tim Nelson]

The NMB will not release the Association to a PEB. This means that our negotiations will be put on ice until both parties submit to binding arbitration.
The company and union is aware of the Trump NMB and its previous actions that put smaller groups on ice, including Mr Sito who was finally rooted out and submitted to binding arbitration last July for a much smaller group.
Game Over.

Not too far fetched... I heard everyone will be required to get a pro association tattoo as a prerequisite to claiming the benefits...

Airlines Rally as American, Southwest Rekindle Expectations

• Healthy 2019 forecasts contrast with recent investor caution
• Carriers’ fourth-quarter earnings top Wall Street estimates

U.S. airlines rallied as American Airlines Group Inc.and Southwest Airlines Co. predicted strong revenue gains after surpassing Wall Street’s profit estimates late last year.

American vowed to outperform rivals in charging higher fares this year as it adds flights at hubs where it dominates traffic, such as Charlotte, North Carolina, and Dallas-Fort Worth. Southwest said it was benefiting from strong demand for lucrative business travel and healthy prices for last-minute tickets.


The healthy forecasts contrasted with muted investor expectations for airlines, which have been trailing the broader market amid concerns about pricing power and the impact of the U.S. government shutdown. Shareholders had been bracing for a gloomy earnings season after American and Delta Air Lines Inc. warned earlier this month that they were struggling to raise fares.

But American’s latest report suggests that 2019 is “setting up to be a good year,’’ Helane Becker, an analyst at Cowen & Co., said in a report.

American surged 6.1 percent to $33.58 at 9:37 a.m. in New York after advancing as much as 8.5 percent for the biggest intraday gain in four weeks. Southwest climbed 4.4 percent to $53.26. JetBlue Airways Corp., which also topped analysts’ expectations for fourth-quarter profit, climbed 2.5 percent to $17.67.

Southwest predicted a gain of as much as 5 percent this quarter in revenue for each seat flown a mile, a gauge of pricing power. The outlook exceeded American’s and topped forecasts earlier this month from Delta and United Continental Holdings Inc.


The prediction by Southwest “tops even the most bullish of expectations,” said Jamie Baker, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase & Co., in a note to clients.

• CEO outlook: "We are intent upon running the most reliable operation in our post-merger history, pursuing high margin growth opportunities at our most profitable hubs, and executing on a number of valuable revenue and cost saving initiatives. We expect our total revenue per available seat mile to grow faster than our network competitors, and to deliver strong pre-tax earnings growth in 2019. At the midpoint of our guidance, 2019 diluted earnings per share excluding special items would increase approximately 40 percent versus 2018."
