If being against a contract that has no full time protections is losing credibility then sign me up!
And for the 100th time they didn't have it to bring to the table in the first place. Have you read both of our contracts that we're bringing to the table? Both of our contracts already have a PT CAP in them.
Tim Nelson said:
Even members on our nc said publicly in updates "if there is no part time cap then what good is $30 an hour?".
And I agree wholeheartedly. But UAL already tried to knock a ton of people down to PT and the operation went to Hell as T5 said, and they had to bring them back up.
And again in our two contracts we both already have PT caps and
NO ONE is going to be agreeing to negotiate that away.
So what are you sweatin about?

Never mind that one also needs 17 years to be protected and the worst health care in the industry.
Ok and before the BK Judge got a hold of it, at AA I had FT System protection and a $12,500 special moving allowance if I was being layed off and decided to bump the system. I don't obviously have that anymore. Am I supposed to blame my negotiators for having a gun held to their heads?
You seem to have a short term memory issue when it comes to the fact that we all went through BK Court and lost things.

Sorry weassles but im not impressed with those types of protections, especially when our non union ticket peeps got a no layoff agreement in their first contract and grandfather rights for ALL stations, and scope for all stations with 5+ flights and didnt agree to foreign res centers doing most res work.
Sorry.
No need to apologize. To quote John John.
"CWA/IBT gave up 2 mainline jets a day scope, Allowing CWA represented express agents to do mainline work, curbside check-in, allowing a lower pay classification to do core mainline work, varies work rules language and benefits,
No question this was a concessionary contact to LUS"
When the layoffs come Tim, and they will come. Many of those peeps are going to be forced to bump down to those CARS positions because they won't be able to move to keep the higher paying job they have right now. Maybe you weren't paying attention to the CWA Local President who was all over Facebook practically begging people to vote no? Or the Negotiator who went rogue and then was left out of going around and explaining that TA?
