JCBA Negotiations and updates for AA AMTS

[topDawg]

Before you know it UAL will get a contract, then Delta will best them and we will be at the bottom again. That's the way it goes.Unless we get some good contract language ensuring we can move up when others pass us.

 
I'm going to bet we(Delta) don't want for United to jump you guys again. Might be wrong but its been a while since we got a (company wide) 2-3% bump. Normally get them once a year but I assume that we aren't getting it this year because of the raise/profit sharing cut deal. I'm sure they will tack on another 1-2% for just TechOps as a part of it when it happens though. 
 
BTW can anyone tell me what your top out time is? We just moved down to 7 years I think. Curious how it compares to American, Southwest and United.

Looks like we went from a 5 year to a 9 year top out.at aa aka the new America west.

Hopefully they raised the wage bar above what we got last week and then we can jump back above them since we are still in negotiations

We havent heard any numbers yet here at UAL.

Friend mentioned you guys were going for 3% over DL, putting UA amts over $50/hr.
Right?

Pretty much proves United was waiting for us.  They win again.  No contract for us any time soon.

They haven't negotiated the wage article yet according to the meeting I went to the other day, just the interim deal.  The Parker Delta or United plus still applies is what I am hearing when they get to wages

 

[swamt]

Sign an IAM card.

Now why in the hell would I do that? Pls try to enlighten us. BTW, screw the IAM they are a losing union to be represented by...
 

No intrusion! Everyone should see what Professional Representation updates look like.

Thx for that. In the past I have been ridiculed for interupting a topic being discussed with a different topic. But yes I do believe we (all mechanic groups) should be communicating in great detail on what is going on at all airlines, it will help our craft as a whole in the long run...

I so hope what you say is true, BUT, we will all see. And I assume you are refering to the D or U +3 not the D or U +7% as originally promised by your CEO and later retracted, huh?

3% over the Delta mechanics will not put AA mechs in the 50's. Do the math. Delta is at 46.15, multiply that by 3% and you get 1.3845, add that to the 46.15 = 47.5345, not even close to the 50's as you have suggested. Now, with that said, AA is being brought to 3% over Delta which is 47.54 (rounded) and IF United is brought up to 3% over AA, then it would be 47.54 X 3% = 1.4262, plus 47.54=48.9662 which is still short of the 50's you are suggesting.  We all can only hope the UAL mechs are gonna get offered in the 50's, I really hope they do, as they deserve it. We will see when the details comes out.  Good luck to them and all of us as it seems that all the airline mechanics groups are all of a sudden coming to some sort of agreements, except for us.

all the amt at all the airlines and ups FedEx should way be over the 55 dollar mark. Just to get a head from all the pay cuts . And put us where we should be.

I could not agree more! Amt's should be making well into the upper 50's. Pilots have to know how to fly one type of aircraft. Technicians must know how to work on the companies entire fleet. The public looks at us like we are some knuckle dragging, shade tree mechanics. They do not realize A&P's work in power plants and nascar and all different types of transportation systems. The reason why we do not get the recognition is because we are forced to have other work groups put under our contracts. I for one had always felt the we should have just one union with only licensed technicians.
