Different thread Eric. I just want to know if the company wants to compete head to head, if the labor rates in each respective workgroup is competitive. If you expect competitive work rules than wages must follow correct? Work rules, wages, same types of aircraft and service?
So Flight Attendants, are your wages competitive with LUV? and Pilots, what about you?

No, but the liability of our job is no different. We screw up, we pay the price.
That is where you compare salaries based on the same job discription.

NO EO did not have a valid question considering the topic. As I mentioned, this could be discussed in another thread and most likely already has. I just want to know airline for airline, Workgroup for workgroup what the wages are.

If this is the issue, why is it not on the floor instead of the March 3% raise?
My work area is over manned right now and has been for nearly 9 months. Management knows this and does nothing. Is this a way to create a productivity problem before we address the issue?

Keep in mind when Carty asked the unions to forego their 3% wage increase, he said it ONLY amounted to $130,000,000.00 dollars. ONLY! So at $5 million a day loss that AA is experiencing, this keeps AA out of the bankruptcy court only another 26 days.
Let's suppose we all forego the 3% increase, bankruptcy is still inevitable unless AA changes its business model.

For starters, SWA contracts out all major overhaul work whereas AA operates 3 major overhaul facilities. Salaries at SWA will soon exceed those at AA in the maintenance department. SWA uses essentially line maintenance mechanics and do not staff all stations where they operate. Of course, this is a contractual issue this is on the company's hit list, similar to what United wants from its maintenance department.
12 year scale.

Doesn't AA also pay their workers at the overhaul facilities less than the line mechanics? I've always wondered what SWA's overhaul costs were compared to the majors. It also seems that SWA doesn't go as cheap (I.E. lowest bidder)on outside overhaul as when the majors farm out their own overhaul work looking for the most bean-counter friendly number, rather than an operationally friendly overhaul service.

Common misconception. SWA does do a portion of their Heavy maint at their maint hangers in DAL, HOU and PHX. Last I heard they were actually up to doing phased "D" Checks. They use Cascade in Canada (where they make out great with the currency exchange) and Goodrich in Washington to do the rest. All engine overhaul is farmed out.
