JCBA Negotiations and updates for AA Fleet

[Racer X]

It is nice to know that they have worked hard for you all for over 2 YEARS now and we do have room for display cases and Fleet Service is now FLEET SERVICE. Way to go keep running out pension into the ground so that there will be nothing left when you need it. Oh yea who’s cousin is in charge of running the IAM NPF?

Wow Tim, nice rant

 

[cltrat]

A heavy rumor as opposed to a light one? Did a fly tell you that by any chance?
This place really needs a face palm emoticon

Keep drinking the IAM Koolaide. 😉

The MIGHTY MIGHTY IAM Union at LUS has so much POWER at American that they can get better medical insurance than the Minnie Minnie weak ALPA PIlots. WOW must be nice to be so Powerful and Strong that you will pull that off. Especially when we ALL know how you handle no from the company. Hey fellow IAM NC want to put our foot down and pickett and make a statement against Doug and AA? Nah I like my cushy position, let’s just send him a nice bottle of scotch. Our membership is paying for it anyway. He He He, of you are so silly.

AA pilots aren’t ALPA genius

Why does LUS IAM have former TWA employees as representatives at the Grand Lodge and DL 142 but LAA TWU is all nAAtives? Sito’s career has been the IAM, not TWA/AA. When did he last work on a TWA aircraft?

Well I don’t know, why does a so called banker have such a hard on for the IAM? Did Sito have sex with your wife or your mom or something?

I tell you what I really wonder, why does a brown cow not give chocolate milk? Wouldn’t that really be neat?

 

[Insatiable]

Well you know Sito could not have sex with anyone’s wife as they would certainly say no. And he would do what the IAM typically does and walk away with their tail between their legs. No balls at all!

 

[AANOTOK]

So no future meetings scheduled. No updates. What's going on???

 

[Insatiable]

I am sure if the IAM told you chocolate milk came from those same brown brown cows that you would be showing up with your cup. LOL! Koolaide drinker. All will be well with your Retirement, Catering Jobs, and your Health Insurance. Too bad your raise from the contract will go to cover your new 80/20 LAA medical insurance. I am sure the IAM promised you the same signing bonus too that they negotiated for UAL. I mean same Union did the negotiating for that contract so why would they sell you out on your signing bonus, right? 🙂

It is time to start thinking about 1 solid Union to represent the large work force. Only 1 union with 1 agenda, and not 2 unions with 2 separate agendas. No wonder it has taken an eternity and still nothing to show the membership.

1 union? While I have supported the Association, it seems as if our two union "Association" is being held hostage by another two union "Association" insomuch that there are now 6 entities, all of which are centered on MX. I have a problem with that, especially if this thing drags out for several more months even though fleet is complete. Holding fleet hostage to MX simply is not acceptable. But since none of our fleet negotiating committee are part of our Executive Negotiation Team, they have no juice and only the 2 MX negotiating on our behalf. This is where CLTrat and others simply don't understand the dynamics of negotiations. And this is where I blame Mr Baskett for his BS and lies claiming that he is a watchdog over LUS healthcare. The reality is that he prolly still doesn't have the info about fleet. My source isn't the sorta Fly that I can just call up and request info on how MX is going. But, if MX is stalled, then this will COST fleet leverage, especially as we approach section 6. Then it's all bets off. Sad.

 

[Insatiable]

There has been way too much progress from the contract talks, so I am sure they need some time off from working so hard for you.

 

[Tim Nelson]

So no future meetings scheduled. No updates. What's going on???

The Nor'easter and the fact that it's spring break and the kids are out of school has caused a planned pause in negotiations. Toss in a few Union conventions that will hose us in April and May. Then you have opening day and the fantasy baseball draft for our negotiation committee.

 

[Insatiable]

Section 6 will not be good for anyone but Uncle Dougie.

 

[Insatiable]

Let us not forget about the Super Secret IAM NC trip to Hawaii on your dime. They have been instructed “No pictures on Facebook!”

 

[Insatiable]

Once again Fleet Service is the door mat of AA. Always getting walked on and no respect from Uncle Dougie!
