Have you lost it? Dont you have a few f/a's left to help? Do you set in the pit office and do this all day
??????? Make a difference in someones life, it will make you feel better !

No.

The 21% pay cut is judicially ordered and distinct from the current negotiations.

The company proposal that was released was for informational purposes only; any proposal that becomes a tentative agreement will be sent to the AFA membership for ratification.

So no, there will not be any further financial fall out at this time other than the 21% slash in pay.

As for the "me too" clause, I would suspect that the only issue that might apply to the flight attendants is the 16 hour layover rule. Pitbull?

Best to all,

Hey Fliboi, just ignore her typical feminist remark. She implies that if you even dare to have an opinion different from hers, you must be only one thing..a chauvinist. Not only that...a pig raised in a barn. A perons's true colors often shine through from just one, small remark.

Its about time you finally get it! And don't forget it!

Why doesn't FMLA apply to your medical benefits for up to 3 months of unpaid leave after the birth/adoption of a child?

FMLA applies to wide range of "family" matters and that falls in the category and not for that reason specific, making it read what you want it to read and say.

I can name a thousand legit reasons.

You're argument is not valid.

Why doesn't FMLA apply? I really am curious. I'm not making an argument, I am just asking a question.

My understanding of the FMLA is that it requires the company to hold your POSITION for 3 months at the SAME salary with the SAME continued benefits while you are out on leave for several specific reasons. Birth/Adoption of a child are in specific categories. I'm just wondering why it wouldn't apply here.

PB...

My apologies. I should have clarified my statement. I was referencing the 16 hour layover rule determining long layover hotels. I think this was part of the ALPA T/A, but not quite sure.

Best,

US1,

Thanks for the PM. The FMLA regs I sent. You have validity in what you say.

Just to show you how unfair this contract is I was talking to a F/A crew scheduler 2 days ago and they said that they lost;

5% pay cut (they got a 4% raise this year)
Lost 2 vacation days
Pay higher medical co pay
Plus they cut 2 or 3 jobs (may have just gone to another department no cut in payroll)

Can't anyone confirm this info?

This shows you HOW LITTLE management is giving!!

If this is true SELF HELP is on it's way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[usfliboi]

The non union employees, had already had paycuts, with representation. You guys have got to get a grip, a life, and if its all that bad , a new job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give up already, make a difference with a customer. Youre not gonna convince anyone here, that things are bad, or unfair, or fair. Its all reality now. MOVE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fly]

or they could just destroy the company fliboi. See, they can do whatever they want, just as you can.

 

[Light Years]

Youre not gonna convince anyone here...

Truer words were never spoken, maybe you should heed your own advice.

I have to ask... were you deprived of puncuation marks and capital letters as child?
