Equity Update

[B737 driver]

Like I said, same people running it just under a different name.

Bob, you guys can change unions, even go to AMFA if that's what people want. But if the membership body is apathetic and no one new wants to run for office, and like you said the same people get in there, you will have the same problems. Parker and company will still want the same pay scale, 401k, and if you guys go AMFA you will definitely have a 401k, AMFA doesn't have pension plans.

Maybe so but it's one less group the TWU has to negotiate for. That's a big plus.
AMFA only has to negotiate for AMT'S and Title 2. That's much better than the negotiations process the association has in place. I believe the Association was designed for failure and dragged out negotiations.

Well I would only pull the trigger when you have the numbers to do it, so you are not locked into your association for another two years.

Whether you are right or wrong thanks for deciding for everyone.

Well you and the MX crowd can continue to do wishful thinking in ousting what we have now. If it makes you feel better and gives you and others a sense purpose.

Why change?

It was $77 million before Trump took office. If it's the rumored $130 million (where ever that came from) then I guess you could thank Trump if you so desired. But I'm on board with NYer and feel it's closer to the $80 million ball park.
Again, since it's a TWU secret, I really don't know.

I heard it was around 90 million. 130 million sounds nice but also too much. I thought the bankruptcy judge had them sell the stock and put it in a conservative investment. This way the money would be safer.

Why change?

Simple, for more control over our representation.

well, for all of last year, aa put in $240 million for everyone's PS....and we're talking how many employees?

$90+ million sounds about right, for how many eligible?

i believe it will be more than what most are expecting.

Control over what, you seem like you don't even know, it's like you have been heavily indoctrinated, and chant "we need change" but change and control over what, what betterments would come our way.

As far as the equity goes, just think of the fund having 80 mil, it might have grown from the last pie chart update, or it might not have. Just sit by the mailbox and wait for a check. I think no other information will be shared, and there is nothing we can do about it.

 

[Slopoke]

You must be joking. The day after we show the association the door, everyone who holds any office right down to shop stewards will all funnel themselves through the doors to sign them selves up for elections in the new regime. And at the end of the day what do ya have, nothing more than a name change. Keep your ideas of a card drive or anything alike to your self.

Well for one thing. We need a union where all of them are elected, not appointed and are subject to recall.

Give me a break, this country voted in Trump, and he was surprised he won.

 

[bob@las-AA]

The total number of eligible members that got the last distribution from 2014 were 20325, this number should be slightly less, not more.

If the MX decides to oust the TWU and you are left with the TWU why do you care what we do?

I don't.
