Cba S Violated

[allegheny1]

As a number of posters have stated on other threads it has become obvious
that all union cba s have been violated due to the companies actions of
parking out of time airbus check acft in the desert. Because this was a
guanantee in all contracts does this now become the rallying point for a
concerted coalition effort. If so, what sort of action is necessary.

While we must fight to stop the constant contract violations and labor
bashing we also must guard against tearing the airline apart from the
inside out and thus joining our fallen brothern. We need to leave this
joint standing in the aftermath of another series of battles with ccy.

Most importantly we must do our absolute best for out customers in the
face of adversity. No passengers...no paycheck. No seigel...no paycheck
just for him.

In my mind it is of tandamount importance that we all stick together and run
the best operation possible until the infestation has had a dose of penicilin.

Your thoughts please.

The ALPA modified restructuring agreement states the minimum active fleet shall be increased to 279 aircraft (including permanent bid plus 8% for active spares) with a daily utilization rate measured monthly of no less than 10 hours.

8% of 279 is 22 aircraft, which do not have to be flown. The key is we must have a daily utilization rate of 10 hours per aircraft for the 279 fleet count.

From the pilot permanent bid, it does not appear the company has violated this part of the pilots CBA.

Looking for cost cuts?....SW uses each airplane 13 hours+ a day.....we are only at an average of 10 hours a day....There is 1/2 cent a mile right there!

Chip ,

Active Spares denotes Aircraft that can be flown revenued at any given time.

One Acft in Mobile is out of time and sitting as a static display for the pidgeons to purch on.

We now have 702 sitting in GYR in an alike and useless configration.

Acft being removed from service such as this defy the term spare...or active anyway you care to cut it.

Futhermore...We are not even in a position to rob them to keep the Active Fleet flying as we so often do here.

Keep in mind...Robs from heavy maintenance Acft are in excess of 4060 to date..this is in sharp contrast to the same period of time in 2001 with a fleet exceeding 400...and with numerous aging or poorly manufacturer supported acft thrown into the mix (F-100's , DC-9's / MD-80's and B737-200's) ..Also consider that we have almost 2 months remaining in this calender year.

These figures considering a downsized and relatively young and easy to support fleet (especially the Boeings) is a direct reflection of how poorly U management is handling the purchasing of spare parts.

U would rather wiz away our money on fruitless legal battles with labor...as opposed to honoring it's signed agreements and supporting it's aircraft.

There is no other way to view this....unless making excuses for poor leadership is just your bag of tricks? Which most will conclude that yours is.
