Nothing like the person that just cleaned up the dirty mess now serving your food to you. Blah!

 

[workngd]

Well again I ask...Who is going to pull that Sh%^& diaper out of a trash can because mom lost her ring? Who will be the one that has to dump the lav truck with a screen to find the lost watch?

Once you do work covered by a CBA that does not belong to your workgroup, you are a scab. Once a scab always a scab. :angry:

 

[NAPAUS]

With all due respect, but not really. Where in your first post does it say anything about anyone but the FA's? So how about telling us how and when you will be like the SWA and JB pilots who pitch in and help clean and turn planes, in record time.

I can hear the PA system now. "Attention in coach, we need a clean-up in row 23, wet spill."

And later . . . . . "Attention US Airmart shoppers. Attention US Airmart shoppers. For a limited time only, and only while they last, we have a Blue-Light special on our delicious cheese sandwiches, made fresh the day before yesterday. Don't miss this opportunity to satisfy your hunger. Just ask any of our associates in a blue vests and smiley buttons. Correct change is appreciated. Thank you for flying with US Airmart."

How about out of the seatback? It never ceases to amaze me how often we find 'em there.

You're funny.

After commenting on my position on unions in the past, this is what you have to offer?

Just stating my piece. You and others ask often what it is that makes me feel the way I do about unions. Now you know some of it.

 

[mweiss]

Only because its not your job they are protecting. I bet you wouldn't be real pleased with the person, who was hired to do a job, but did your job thereby making you expendable.

Pleased is not really the point in the end, though, is it? If your job is expendable, then it's expendable. Pretending that it isn't, and trying to force your employer to do the same, only makes things worse all around in the long run, even if it feels better in the short run.

I'll let you in on a secret the worst part about a union is the slackers who take advantage of the situation and make others members take up his slack and then the rightfully get the same protection from the union as anyone else because they play their dues.

I agree with you; that's the worst part. Many other parts aren't so lovely, either, though.

 

[luv2fly]

When the A/C is really dirty..I think the pilots should help out.

I can see 320 running the lav truck now...!!

You make a good point in a non-union and/or non-contract dog eat dog world. But when you have a legally binding contract whether signed individually or bargained through union then both sides have the right and the duty to see that that contract is fulfilled. No one forced the company or employee into the contract and no one knows the future but that doesn't relieve you or the company the obligation to uphold their end of that contract. Though there is always the option of renegotiating but absent that the company has no right to allow work to be done in violation of contract terms.

 

[mweiss]

UVN, you're certainly correct as it applies to the company ordering the pilots and FAs to do the work. I'm not sure I can see how it applies to employees voluntarily performing the work, though.

What everyone here seems to be forgetting is: we already go through the aircraft and pick up the same trash prior to landing that we will be picking up after. We don't and won't clean the lavs or empty the trash cans. We do this kind of tidying in 25 stations now.

So those of you that think we are going to be the "new utility" forget it. We can't and won't ever replace a full aircraft cleaning with our little tidying procedures.

This is nothing new for this business either. We did it years ago, and lived to tell. No one on my flights ever got ill because I picked up an empty cup or bag of pretzels and served another flight after. We still have bathrooms with soap and running water last time I checked. I wash my hands everytime I have to touch trash.

Obviously utility is as good as gone now anyway so its a moot point but you are wrong. If the pilot on his own violated the CBA of the IAM's utility then the company is responsible for the actions of the pilot and the company is or I should say was grievable.

FA Mikey:

With all due respect, who said anything about F/A's?

Separately, this contract provision will have US Airways F/A's now performing work more like their counterparts at jetBlue Airways and Southwest Airlines.
