American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

[Kev3188]

You really “must” be crazy. Either that or you have lots of witnesses in the area.

What’s the fuss? You guys have met up before...

 

[Tim Nelson]

Man you must be out’s yo mind?

really? I thought we were friends even though you support this disaster.
Look, if you really wanna fight me then it may be fun for the both of us to box. Im getting lean again but you will have me by some serious weight so it should be equal chances. Hell i havent actually boxed competitively since golden gloves but im working with a previous professional hvwt in pbi and we will be goin to the boxing gym in May.
i figure, your advantage, especially if you lean on me, but if i can get out of the first sparring round then i think i can take you weez.

I don’t want to box you. I want to take you on a late night airboat ride through the Everglades.

I think you (I) will have a wonderful time.

I understand this comment may shock you since you believe I “blow off flights” but no, when I’m at work I’m usually working.

That’s how I pay my bills FYI.

weez, we are both rampers, i get it.
Hey, here is the delta mainline stations plus 5 others (cvg, slc, rdu and 2 more).
I saw your tantrums on jetnet asking for the $10,000 profit sharing from delta but maybe you should ask for alot more scope as well.
We cant rely on envoy doing most of your work at most stations, thats the same as delta ready reserve. Green bay may be a cool place to work. In pbi we have a few flights and we are goin down to 10 in late May, but GRb would be sweeter.

 

[Tim Nelson]

here plus 5 stations

Tim what could the company do in responce to this accusation.

I'm almost 100% convinced that ALUS78 is a Tim Nelson created BOT set up to agree with Pinky (of Pinky & the Brain fame) or ask him the questions he wants thrown out there. Tim...what about this? Tim...what about that? Tell them the "truth" Tim! Don't get Parker mad...he might get mad back...OR he is real and praying for a garbage JCBA so you he enjoy your T/W off for a month...and then W/T for a month with 501...😀

Do you believe the company will improve upon its offer?
And although you talk strong, why dont you recognize the union made a big mistake going for the cash only back in 16?
Members wanna know.

 

[WeAAsles]

weez, we are both rampers, i get it.

Are you blowing off flights in PBI like I heard you did in ORD?

Members wanna know?

That’s nice for them. I don’t work for Delta Airlines though.

I saw your tantrums on jetnet asking for the $10,000 profit sharing from delta but maybe you should ask for alot more scope as well.

I’ve been pretty consistent that I would prefer higher wages over Profit Sharing. Also not interested in purchasing any Scope I already own.

Somewhere in the range of 8 to 10% DOS would work for me. Gary did say we’re almost there on the money so soon we may be able to check mark that box.

“TWU” Represented Ramp has more workers at near 11,000 than any other Airline and I like it that way.

Doubt we’ll see much shrinkage Nationwide of Envoy frankly.

There will always be lower paid arms that exist somewhat to support what you and I make Tim.

 

[WeAAsles]

We do need to keep an eye on average yearly wage increases out there. Newest jobs report is showing an increase of 3.4%

Don’t want to sign any contracts that lock us in below those averages or eventually put us behind the 8 Ball if inflation starts to rear it’s head.

Not to mention that Nationwide that’s absolutely happened in the Housing industry. Both Renting and Purchasing.

What offer?

Do you have a copy of this offer that we can all look at?

I’m going to feel so terrible for poor Al when he gets his first working weekend shift in probably over 20 years.

I mean here’s this guy with 41 years who’s going to be off T/W or W/T while here I am in MIA with only 24 years enjoying my wonderful S/S off.

Maybe Al will file his first ever grievance?

 

[CremaDiLimone]

Agree that Peterson making those comments is not going to help with anything. Just stick to the safety factor that our mechanics bring. Have to admit that I'm not impressed with Isom at all. Do not see any leadership qualities in the man. Always here him saying, Doug said this or Doug said that. Looks like Kirby leaving was a blow to mgmt.

no reason to make public comments like that.

even if he is correct, you can never prove that and GP only appears hostile or even belligerent to the NMB, let alone management.

isom doesn't appear dumb to me..maybe he is that ambitious. he appears incompetant because the LCC mentality is a loser mentality for a legacy airline competing for premium passengers. until these former america west big-shooters ditch this loser philosophy...

overhead bins that don't close due to out-sourced skill/labor? the flying public expects that out of spirit and frontier.

all the money right there. yes, why pay for scope that we already own?? the company pulled the maximalist bargaining lever just prior to filing. united nations negotiating 101.

aa keeps it's 5% pre-tax profit sharing formula? then, at the very least, i want $33.25/hr on DOS - not counting differential..which is about an 8% raise.
