Facility Mechanics?

[Salty Dog]

Does US have any facility mechanics?

Per the CBA

The scope of work for Plant Maintenance in CLT, PHL, PIT and
7 PHX will be determined by the Company. Plant Maintenance at other
8 locations , may be performed by employees covered by this Agreement or,
9 at the Company’s discretion, by vendors.

So only in those four stations?

Do you know how many there are total?

I assume since the IAM is the representing union the Plant maintenance mechanics are on the same seniority list, as the aircraft mechanics? Y or N ???

With that at USAir the IAM allows a aircraft mechanic to bump a plant maitenance mechanic during a layoff?
Also if a Plant maint. mech who gets his A&P can bump a aircraft mech. Is this true Y or N ?

Thanks for the feed back. At AA the plant maint. mech./Facilities have thier own title group and seperate seniority list.

Good or bad depending on how you look at it and which group your in. Being that we at AA have the larger union group I would assume that they would end up as a seperate title group when we do merge. Also if we went to AMFA as well the IAM would no longer exist as the bargaining group for AMT's and plant maintenance and automotive mechanics.

We all then would have a union that will LQQK after our class and craft.


Go AMFA

I've also heard that US uses company seniority and has no occupational. That could possibly change things too

No USair does Not use only company seniority. It's classification seniority for shift and days off and company for vacation.

Classification and occupational are the same..

Time at your job wether it be a ramp, stores, or aircraft maintenanace is your classification date. Y or N?
Time in your current occupation (what job you are doing at present) is occupational date Y or N?

Same thing just different terms used at different companies by two different unions.

Also holds true for Auto Shop and Heavy Maintenance. With no test to bump or bid between areas. I forgot to add that.

Yes and no. Here, some hired in as a Fleet person and upgraded to Maintenance. The day he started in Fleet is his company hire date. The day he started in Maintenance is the classification date. Although I may be senior to him in Maintenance, he would choose his vacation before me and get on the plane as non-rev before me, as long as he was hired in the company before me. We can have many classification dates, as some do. Such as a seniority date in Inspection, Lead, Utility, and so forth. Each used to bump and bid in those positions.
