A TOS of $13.25, a 14-page CBA, and language that still says AS can terminate the Ground Handling Service Contract anytime.
Just a huge W all around.

Dude, McGee exists because the IAM stepped on a rake. It’s not a badge of honor, no matter how many press releases they put out about it “touting the end to outsourcing.” Good union jobs were replaced by ones that top out at less than the starting wage at most carriers, but hey they have dues check off, so hurray!Keep ignoring reality.
How many pages is your CBA at DL?

That was such a colossal F-up that it hampers drives today… which is big part of why my current CBA is exactly 0 pages.
That is reality.
That might be a fair point if you had kept digging instead of stopping as soon as you found the answer you wanted. That's something unserious people do.Ok Kev yea nah. It took me awhile to be able to find a link to that story from that time but you are DEAD WRONG to blame the IAM wholly for what happened at Alaska back in 2005.

Keep going.
Spitting the word Aeroman as a pejorative while touting Mcgee as a victory is also a hallmark of unserious people. Intellectual honesty would require acknowledging the damage both are doing to our industry.
To be fair, I don't believe for a second that Rich actually believes what he's typing. He's either angling to get back in the game or likes a good pile-on. Probably both, really.
Of course, you aren't. But no one was asking, either.And BTW Kev I’m not really that concerned with those subcontractors at the moment.
Of course, you aren't. But no one was asking, either.
A recap:
Rich: Weak AMFA CBA at AS led to OAK base closing.
Me: The same thing happened to the AS ramp at SEA for the same reason.
Rich: That's different.
You don't get to call it both ways. Weak CBAs are still just that, regardless of which logo is on the front cover.
C'est la vie indeed.

IAM/AS CBA was violated and the IAM won in arbitration
AMFA/AS CBA permitted the closing of OAK, thereby AMFA had zero recourse.
Not that hard to comprehend what transpired.
