The good news, AA mechs will be making $38 an hour in sept 2015,

And what will the US guys be making?  Below you guys.  And well below the industry average.  Do you guys really think you will jump ahead of all the airlines just because you are the largest airline out there?

What are you talking about? An American Airlines AMT on Midnight shift will be making that next year even if they ratified the contract or not.

 

[Duke787]

As I understand it, their new contract will pay them OT after 40 hours rather then after 8 hours.

 

[bigjets]

Just lookIng for a silver lining

 

[700UW]

There is no change to OT for Mechanics.
 
So its still anything over 8 in a day.

OK, the contract passed and we are both locked in till 2017 contractually, lets move on
 
Next, we need to get our representation to one union with a membership driven democratic constitution.
 
Then, we need to work on the joint contract from one position of strength.
 
a divided house will not stand
 
Sign your AMFA cards and lets vote

And an AMFA - SWA Mechanic is making 20% more than that right now. A UPS/FEDEX Mechanic makes 30% more.

"This is the only FACT I know, even with record profits SWA mangement is using all the BK airline wages to tell the swa negotiating comittee we won't give you a raise of your hourly wage only a bonus based on performance. They say we need to "let the rest of the industry catch up to our salary."
 
So get with it!"
 
I thought it applied here also

Next is Single Carrier with the NMB, then the vote on the TWU/IAM Association, and then a JCBA.

From Kelley
 

Our labor rates are now, far and away, the highest in the industry. Through bankruptcy, very large New Airlines have emerged with lower rates than us and better productivity. Next to fuel, labor is our highest expenditure. We cant have lower overall operating costs if our labor costs aren’t lower. We cant have lower labor costs if we arent more productive. The good news is that we have a lot of opportunities to improve our productivity, eliminate waste, and preserve our pay rates and benefits for the foreseeable future. Its crucial that we take advantage of those opportunities.
