JCBA Negotiations and updates for AA Fleet

[NYer]

What items have been TA'd since the Execs took over? Not being a smarty pants, I'm not sure.

Week of January 16th: TA'd Voluntary Furlough
Week of January 23rd: None
Week of February 13th: None
Week of February 20th: None
Week of March 6th: TA'd Hours of Work
Week of March 27th: None (Executive Session)
Week of April 17th: None (Executive Session)
Week of May 22nd: TA'd Overtime & Recognition of Rights (Executive Session)

Overtime was a passed in negotiation sessions before the Executive Committee sessions started.

Update

Several articles were a paragraph, sentence, word(s) or number away from getting a T/A. The focus early on from the Executive NC has been to T/A these articles that are close before getting into the really big money issues. IMO, I expect that we will be in the big money issues soon and believe that having a T/A for the entire CBA is a slight possibility this summer.

Thank you very much P.Rez-ident. Always nice to read from someone who is actually there and can give good and correct information.

Is that a 40% slight or a 5% slight

Or next fall, if not by spring. Without a doubt maybe next summer.
Bull ****.

Appreciation when someone breaks through the garbage.

Appreciation when someone breaks through the garbage.

Perhaps just adding another layer

Thanks for your insight

Listen I'm in no hurry, but what he says is in the process of getting done I thought was done already.

I agree with PRez on everything except the last sentence. I think we have a really good shot at getting it done this summer. But just like Prez, that's just my opinion. On the IAM side, insurance is a huge issue. We can't expect our members to go down to the LAA insurance. Things would have to be pretty awesome in all the rest of the contract to get us to agree to that crappy insurance.

REZ, could you please clarify "big money issues"

Well to be a little more precise. I wouldn't say that our insurance is crappy especially in comparison to a lot of other insurance plans out there who aren't fortunate enough to be represented by a Union.

But in comparison to yours though, our out of pocket costs and deductibles are crappy. Actually very crappy. Maybe more like stinky?

Not sure about the differentiation between In Network and Out of Network providers?

You're kidding right Bob?

Let's be honest. In comparison of the two policies, the LAA insurance is crappy. This is what I was referring to. Don't really care what everybody else out there has. I care that in a time of making record profit that the largest airline in the world is offering a bankrupt insurance policy to all its members. They could do much better, but they choose not to.

Nope.
