Automated Baggage System

[pitguy]

Any one that needs to know knows the union successfully defended several areas of their contract. 401k match, involuntary furloughs and so on............People can not keep explaining simple things to you. Is the IAM the best at this? I doubt it, but they know they must prevail or they are gone. Please consider filling your time with other interests that reflect things that are in you life. Which appears to have some issues also. Be well and have a joyous day.

I'm just trying to understand where you're going with this...

There truly is no need for you to understand it.

In a few ways, this board does reflect a few of the things that are in my life. I've told you more than I probably should about my personal affairs, so I'm just going to leave it at that.

There truly is no need for you to understand it.

Are you trying to say "mind your own business?"

I don't want you silenced Pitguy...just a spirited debate would be nice. Different points of view help all to see a subject more clearly.

unfortunalty your postings are more than just a debate.

You are correct. The Company offered the IAM a proposal to conduct the A320 heavy maintenance in-house and then union negotiators rejected the plan and filed the lawsuit. The proposal was an opener, but now that the Company won the lawsuit and appears headed to a grievance victory, thus the mechanics may not have very much leverage.

Garbage like this makes me remind everyone how you had been predicting US was going to buy UA about a year ago and if everyone just gave a little more everything would be ok. Then how if the pilots lost their pension they would go on strike (LOL you guys folded like a lousy set of cards in a poker game). In a nutshell you post alot of inaccurate information - the above not withstanding. More annoying is your shameless willingness to sacrifice others jobs or wages to preserve your own. Good luck to everyone though - even you and others that I find selfish at times.

If the company had a real proposal they would have sent it to the members directly.
...and im still waiting for that link piney....

The IAM cannot shut down the airline and is bound to work by their CBA. If the union or its members conduct "wild cat" job actions, the company would likely go to court to obtain a court order forcing the mechanics, utility and fleet service personnel to go to work.

If a member violates a company policy, then the mechanic will be terminated, which you may begin to see shortly. Furthermore, I expect to see more mechanic furloughs in addition to those who will lose their job because Pittsburgh de-icing and baggage service maintenance will now be conducted by the ACAA.

From a historical perspective, in the 90's APA tried an illegal sick out over the Reno Air - AMR integration and received a fine for $45 million, which could have been accessed on the membership.

In the case of the IAM and US Airways, the choice is simple: Either the mechanics negotiate a cost effective way to overhaul aircraft (provided they lose the A320 heavy maintenance grievance as expected) or the company ships the work out and virtually all of the mechanics lose their job.

It's pretty simple and from this observer's perch, the mechanics have very little leverage.

The APA comparison has little meaning, since AA had plenty of time to wait for the legal system to resolve the issue. What good does it do for US Airways to win a suit against IAM if US Airways ceases to exist before the suit is resolved?

What are you smoking?

I think I will send Dave and Jerry a e-mail and tell them to farm YOUR work out to Mesa.

You are one piece of work and you have no idea of what you are talking about.

Your inaccurate information with your ill timed threats to try and scare the IAM is wasted bandwith, come to the PIT or CLT hangar and talk to the mechanics and you will get 180 degrees oppisite of what you say.

I guess you never learn, you are spewing the same garbage that was in your OP-ED Piece in the Charlotte Observer.

Are you that afraid of the IAM that you have to keep posting wrong information and try to scare people?

I am going to post, your post hard copy, in the Pit hangers and see how it goes over captain.

The IAM cannot shut down the airline and is bound to work by their CBA.

If the IAM is obligated to work by their CBA why hasnt the company honored that same agreement?

If a member violates a company policy, then the mechanic will be terminated, which you may begin to see shortly.

Also, if you come to work do your job how does one get terminated?

Your threats are empty, sad and plain pitiful. PORTION DELETED


Sure they can make them go to work, but they sure as hell can't make them work at work. They can work so hard they sweat and yet everything just doesn't seem to be going well that day, or the next or the next....

If you did everything by the company's rules and regulations you would delay every flight.
