Can someone explain this part of the IAM contract and if it has been invoked?

If a Successor is an air carrier, and the Successor conducts an operational merger
46 between the Company and the Successor or another air carrier, then the Successor will
10
provide the Company employees with a seniority integration governed by Sections 1 2, 3
2 and 13 of the Allegheny-Mohawk Labor Protective Provision.
3
4 Upon a change in control defined as the sale of all or substantially all of the assets
5 or common stock of the Company or US Airways Group in a single transaction (or in
6 multi-step related transactions) to a single purchaser (or a group of purchasers acting in
7 concert), the hourly rates of pay under this agreement shall be increased to the rates
8 which would have been effective following the Pay Parity Adjustment in October 2003
9 under the Pay Parity Letter of Agreement.
In addition to such hourly rates of pay, the
10 IAM will have the right to extend the duration of the IAM Restructuring Agreement for
11 one, two or three years at the IAM’s option, past the amendable date of the IAM
12 Restructuring Agreement, with across the board wage increases of four and one half
13 percent (4.5%) on the amendable date and on each of the three (3) annual anniversaries of
14 the amendable date thereafter (i.e. 12/31/08, 12/31/09 and 12/31/10). For the purposes of
15 this paragraph, “Common Stockâ€￾ is the Common Stock of US Airways Group then
16 outstanding and the Common Stock issuable on exchange, exercise, and/or conversion of
17 securities of the Company or US Airways Group which are then currently exchangeable
18 into, exercisable for, or convertible into such Common stock

HA HA HA.. You will never see that happen..

The IAM should have filed a Grievence the day after the merger (BUYOUT) was completed..

The bottom line.. The IAM is stupid and has no idea what it's contract says.

US Mechanics will never see any of that money.. There is more than likely a letter
stuffed in some IAM drawer someplace that says "Oh, they can do that".

Frank and Bill are dumb and dumber..

700 will say "Oh its not a change in control, its a merger".. Like hell it is. Ask any lawyer on
Wallstreet what AmericaWest Did.. They bought US Airways out with the Equity partners..

The problem is no one can see it.. Why? Same reason they can't see the Forest.. The trees are
in the way.. Damn trees..

Hey 700, don't let the facts get in the way.

I asked my IAM Rep this question when the CWA announced they would be filing a grievance for the same thing.

No answers from LL1976 up to this point. They must be waiting for a answer from one of those highly sought after attorneys they claim to have on the payroll.

Good eye guys I asked this same question several months ago. Frank-n-Frye gave me the same answer "I
dunno". Oh well doesn't matter anyway. I'm still layed off with 16 years senority. :down:
