LUS/AA Below wing issues

[bob@las-AA]

Tell us Bob, why shld we take cuts when this airline reported heft profits. Fuel prices low and fees piling up?? There is absolutely no excuse for cuts as much as u n at want us to have. We got best scope in industry and w our current contract there shld only be enhancements

 
I will explain, BUT first please answer a few simple questions.
 
#1 How many stations are in the LUS system that have IAM ramp personal working either  AA/US aircraft.
 
#2 Out of those stations, what is the number of IAM-represented employees at each station.

I will explain...

If "explain" means a long winded rationale on why people should lower their expectations, please don't. We get that message already from all corners.

Fleet service is not the drag on the system corporate America wants you to believe it is...

US has about 35 stations or so compared to the 12 or 13 AA has,  the IAM/US CBA is one of the best in the industry and has the best scope language.
 
But we know its all about Bob, your have seven years, you havent been through what the 20 plus year employee has gone through, 9/11, Gulf Wars SARS, Fuel Prices etc.
 
You are whats wrong with people who are a member of a union, not a union member.

You post on an average of 7.59 a day. I think you have too much time on your hands. It only takes a half a year to discover how any organized labor force works, and the one at AA, the same one I derive my income is particularly easy to figure out. 
 
Please note that I reject you figures and will rely on a LUS employee to forward the information I requested.

 

[700UW]

Cop out, why don't you just apply for a management job.

It only took you 4 min to respond, I'm impressed. 
 
Thank you for the compliment, I have considered it. 

 

[700UW]

You should go work for a non-union carrier.

You are a member of a union not a union member

.
1. Around 35-40. Give or take.
Covered by the IAM-TWU Association... But I cld be wrong but u wld be under the TWU local or the IAM local depending on station.

2.if ur in the PMUS hubs n DCA all or most are IAM represented folks plus large number of outlying cities are covered as well.
If ur PMUS then u be under IAM.

What are you prepping for a contract or the mideast peace talks? My goodness this is like watching a 4 hour pregame for arena football

Putting two different CBAs together is not an easy task.

Putting two different CBAs together is not an easy task.

Especially when it involves to loser unions.

Here's an idea. Throw both POS CBA'a out the window and start fresh!

Hemingway and Glass are gone, who does the negotiating for the company?

 

[700UW]

Glass will have his hand it, he will be an outside consultant.
 
If McMullen is still there he will be in negotiations, not sure who else from management.
