How about getting back to topic. Aquired has only 6 postings. Are you guys really going to let him highjack this thread? Think about it, he's only here to stir the pot with AvTech04 for some reason. Sounds like a personal agenda to me. BTW: AvTech was not on the AT nego cmte so this individual does not know what he is talking about. Move on people and get back to topic, which is AMFA mechanics contract 2012.

We are talking about the 2012 contract negotiations. I'm putting it out there that the DOM for the east coast has a heavy influence in the current Atlanta Stewards, specifically one of them, and maybe that's not such a good thing for negotiations or a future vote. At least we now have Cramer to represent us over here now...
And just to clarify, I'll take a bullet for every union brother except the ones that are sleeping with the upper management! That to me is the definition of a scab, a union member in bed with the upper management that we're supposed to be negotiating our contract with!! Did you know, the last AT contract took 3 days of negotiations?? Our Chief Steward, at that time, was heavy into Trebelcocks ass! The sad part about it was that he would sell it to the members like it was "the best we could do", same thing he did when they shut down TPA MX for AT!!!
Name call all you'd like, that merely shows how immature and childish you are. Analyze and take all of my post out of context, I don't care! My point is getting across regardless. NO more of the SAME ####!! Don't bring that infectious mentality to SWA, leave it at AT and move on!
I'm done with these guys, like SWAMT said, lets stay on topic, opinions on OUR future contract!!
I would definitely vote down anything that limits us from using our earned sick time with penalty.

So once again sounds like T-cock is the root of all evil in all this. What's the game plan?

Atlanta needs other people to run for union spots there and I would not worry about Orlando or Bwi.

Plus when they open new spots in Atlanta expect people from Dallas and other places to bid these spots. More Swa influence the better!!!!!!

Sounds like a big chunk of AirTran mechanics have one foot in management and one foot in as a mechanic . Is this true? I could be wrong ,but that's the feeling I get.

My bad, thank you for the correction. I knew it was some sort kind of derogatory term.

In our new contract I want to see all bidding, day trades, giveaways ect..ect... Online just like the flight crews. Also want to see the sick time be turned into PTO time. And one more thing mechanics in Dallas get a BBQ every month!!

Where you been? We already have BBQ's once a week if not more. But why just Dallas?? Cmon man. Hell, we just had 3 BBQ's today for a brother in need.

How about setting minimum coverage for shifts? I read through the contract and saw that they have to cover the man hours for scheduled work but what about days and swing shift? It seems like management can set the minimum coverage per day however they want, what it we put in writing the minimum day shift and swing shift staff needed per day. For examples, for 50 flights a day, the minimum you need is, let's say 4 mechanics on duty for day and 4 for swings. 75 flights a day, you need 5 minimum. 100 flights you need 6 and so on and so on. That way they are forced to have coverage even if it involves overtime.

To add on to that, how about instead of a full fledged PTO plan, we have a sick conversion to PTO plan. The ability to turn, I don't know, 40 hours a year into PTO and still have a sick time incase you need to call out. Like being allowed to schedule time off but having it come from your sick bank. I'm just afraid that if you convert to a total PTO plan that they'll take away your vacation and sick time and put it into 2 different pots. 1 pot for your PTO and another for you ELB, or extended leave bank, which you can't touch until you use a certian amount of PTO first, like 40 hours or whatever they set the threshold for.

Avtech04 - I like your PTO idea. Also we do need to have a minimum coverage plan. The inspectors won an arbitration on that and now there OT is unlimited. Any time an inspector is schueduled and is not at work(ie: vac, sick, floaters, OJI) they must backfill their shift. And another thing it would be nice to get POG time like Delta but at our choice. Let's say if OT is offered I personally not mgt can decried to get an extra day off in lue of getting OT pay. Basically I'd forgo pay for the OT shift to get an extra pd day off when I choose. Or I could decide to get the OT pay instead of the POG day off. Understand??? Anyways cheers!!
