Industry-leading TA reached!

thank you.

A ready reserve is capped at X hours (some percentage of full time) and work at salaries that are at the bottom of the scale.

So, thanks for proving my point that it might be possible for a non-FT employee to have a small profit sharing check... but so are his regular checks "similarly sized" relative to yours... and they may go months without receiving one at all.

do you share your profit sharing check with them since you believe everyone should have the same thing... or do you just think your should be the size of meto's?

uh... winter vacations are fairly standard among Americans. Your employer does a bang up business hauling people south from the middle of Feb thru April.
 
So what happens during the next downturn in the industry and there are no profits to share?

you do realize that WN has been profitable for decade after decade?

how is it that you can parade that out when it works for them but you can't admit that the industry might be profitable based on the consolidation that everyone said the industry needed in order to be profitable year after year and not just a year or two out of five.

what airlines do when the economy goes bad is park airplanes and remove capacity.

and that is how DL and WN make money on a year round basis. '

what DL does now in the winter is no different from what they will do when the industry goes "south."
 
Has DL, AA, US, NW, and every other carrier here or gone been profitable for 30 years? And WN is the exception to the industry. Try and bs someone else, not I.

yep 
 
We thought Delta was hot s**t right before 9/11. record profits etc. 
 
All its is a major down turn and everything is in deep trouble again. 
 
ALL of the legacy carriers were making money before 9/11.

and then they were in BK a few years later.

I'm amazed that despite years as a DL employee you haven't learned or don't want to admit what DL is doing to change the way the industry operates - on dozens of levels.

Things that WN did for years and DL is now doing. AA and UA so far haven't adopted those same reasons for success.

I can absolutely assure you that your statement is wrong that when the industry goes to pot, everyone will go together.

There are significant differences in profitability between carriers now and that will only be magnified in a downturn - just as it was between WN and the legacy carriers in the past.

PanAm, Eastern, and TWA. But they were different too.
 
Once again, I don't know why any of you are arguing.
 
Don't you know that someone else - who isn't a flight attendant, and doesn't work at AA - knows better than you do how you should be compensated?
 
the beauty of collective bargaining, comm, is that the terms became immediately available.

I don't have to work there to be able to see the terms.

700 posted not only the terms of the TA but also DL's letter.

It only takes some basic math to be able to put it all together.

and may I remind you that the APFA and its followers here INVITED comparison by coming out and proclaiming that they had an INDUSTRY LEADING contract when in fact, it wasn't industry leading as soon as DL announced their pay increase.

and AA and its supporters here continue to try to sweep profit sharing under the rug despite the fact that it delivers significant portions of revenue to those carriers which have it - and which doesn't include AA.
 
Ignore the dweeb and he will go away! Although, I do appreciate Delta announcing the pay raises yesterday. That way APFA was able to get us an extra $13 million. Again, thanks Delta. Anyone know if we still have the agreement about United raising the bar and us getting more?
 
Gee, I come here to read about AA's flight attendant agreement, and got to read three pages of tripe about how DL is conquering the world...

DALLAS (TheStreet) -- American Airlines flight attendant leaders were ready to send a tentative agreement out to members Wednesday morning when they learned that Delta was giving its employees a 4% raise in April.
 
So Laura Glading, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, went back to American CEO Doug Parker and President Scott Kirby to ask for more -- and got it.
