NOW What?..... would be to get all AMT's into one craft union and stick together instead of blame and fight each other and stop reliance and blaming politicians because we have not the balls to really stand and fight. But that would require the unelected and appointed industrial scam artist, to give up their personal agenda's, money, and worthless sloganism, that they call unionism.
No. The IBT contract gave SWA that top wages they now enjoy and AMFA has kept extending it while giving away more overhaul work. Per the contract language added by AMFA they only added one line after going over 622 aircraft and allowed SWA to send work to Aeroman.
As previously stated, this was after AMFA nego the restrictions added to the wide open contract the ibt left AMFA with. SWA could have sent as many lines that they wanted too. And trust me, they wanted more lines to go but AMFA wouldn't allow more than the 4 that were relocated from the US vendor. This is a prime example of what you will do when AMFA takes over at AA. Under the current (agreed to, and selling to the members) contract the TWU nego and agreed to the concessions, when AMFA takes over they will get blamed for it. Case and point at SWA; ibt contract language allowed for "unlimited" outsourcing out of the US, AMFA took over (with said contract language ALREADY in place by the ibt) and here you are blaming AMFA for it. What you fail to realize is when AMFA did take over, they saw this tremendous gaping hole in our contract and was able to nego the restrictions that are now in place. Hence the para you see in the contract above. Nice try Overspeed-- not going to work. Again you need to gather all the facts prior to posting. You have no clue who owns what in our contract, is was all inherited from the ibt, and AMFA has been and still is filling holes left behind from the ibt--FACT!!!
4 and only 4 that were relocated from a US vendor SWA was not happy with. They are restricted to 4 and they also have to have continuation agreement each contract to continue.
There you go again twisting words. I said "AMFA has NEVER agreed to MORE outsourcing" AMFA had no choice but to agree to the outsourcing to Aeroman due too the ibt language, at least they were able to nego restrictions and limitations as the ibt left it wide freakin open. These were 4 lines relocated from US vendor, not "more" added outsourcing. SWA always has been the same % of outsourcing and always will be.
Overspeed will use either way it makes him, TWU look better, or he will twist it up to try and make AMFA look worse. In other words, which ever way works to his favor at the time and makes his argument look relative.
ibt contract with raises were directly tide to NWA AMFA contract nego wages. AMFA did extend a couple times thru the hard times of 9-11, but also has had full sec 6 nego's and is currently in sec 6 again. Since AMFA has been at SWA they have doubled what the ibt had to 4 lines of heavy maint, added mod lines and "C" check lines. Adding mod line in ATL as well as "C" check lines in ALT or MCO. And yet again AMFA never agreed to outsource more maint than the ibt language allowed and already in place. Keep posting and repeating your lies, maybe, just maybe someone out here will bite. Your a very confused man Overspeed.
You forgot the A-5 passes and the pensions based on the salary reported by the Union.
All that fuss over 4 checks done overseas? Hey Overspeed how many checks is AA sending overseas?
Ok they "extended it" (aren't all contracts under the RLA extended?) and continued to get raises with Zero Layoffs, zero loss of benefits(actually increased their 401K to more than double ours) Zero Holiday losses, Zero sick time losses, zero Vacation losses, brought more work in house and they "suck". We took massive paycuts, in fact ten years after the fact our hourly wages are still $2/hr less than they were then (Over $10/hr less than their sucky contract), massive benefit losses, massive work rule changes, massive layoffs and increased outsourcing and have no caps on how much of the outsourced work can be sent overseas, so what word best describes us?
You forgot about Delle getting a $500K pension payment that no one else will ever get at AMFA. He got that after doing such a great job protecting all those NWA jobs, AS jobs, and losing UA to the IBT. Over 15,000 members or more than 80% of their membership and Delle gets the golden handshake.
