NWA Pilot Strike?

[Kev3188]

More of the same testimony cited by Red Tail Bear from the NWA ALPA website: To wit PTO, et al...


"Towards the conclusion of his testimony, Mr. Davis matter-of-factly stated that NWA does not have a contingency plan in place to deal with a potential pilot strike, and said he believed the Company would probably liquidate if that were to occur. Following additional cross examination by counsel from the retiree committee and a brief redirect by management counsel, the hearing recessed at 6:50 pm. The hearing will resume at 9:30 am tomorrow"

BRAVO ThirdSeatHero, there is hope here yet.

PTO... There is hope yet when you see the light. My biggest point is probabally that the big boys, CEOs ect. will not work with out a contract. Period. They graduated from Harvard and they are very smart and they simply refuse to work with out a defined contract. They are smart. What does your contract state? Do you have a contract? What are you work rules? Do you have none? These smart guys put every thing into the "contract" Did you? What is your contract? What is theirs? They are smart enough to put it in writing. Where you? I think not. What protections do you have in your agreement to work for them? Nothing. What does your work contract look like. All of upper mgmt refuses to work at all with out a written contract. They are very smart. Are you that smart? They require a written contract to provide the money they want. Did you write a contract to provide you with the pay you require? If not you have nothing.

I don't have a contract and I'm a level 1-3 management. My level 4 senior does not have a contract and neither does my level 5 manager. None of the non-union workers who work the airports or res centers have a contract. My guess is that the number of people who work in the US at large, who have employment contracts is very very very small. I would be surprised if the number exceeded 5%.

From what I can tell, in the real world (this does not include unions) contracts come into play where there is huge responsibility (running a corporation) or where a large amount of money is involved (car loan, home construction .. etc). For the average person, contracts are a non-issue

Yes I have a contract, I don't know much about it but I do know it has AMFA written all over it.

I don't get it. Plus you’re beginning to bore me. Where is the Princess? She is much more entertaining than your silly riff-raff. At least she has passion behind here ignorance. You on the other hand get drunk and start quoting from an old Readers Digest you found behind the toilet. Get a life local.

...of course you dont get it PTO, your reading comprehension is limited to super hero comic books and sticking pages together of swank magazine. I may on occassion have a beer, but I quit the hard stuff many years ago and can't recall the last time I got drunk.

done anymore two day engine changes lately pto?

 

[robbedagain]

if you have a contract you claim you have, why dont you post it on here for us to look at? are you too scared that some might acutally use it as toilet paper?

That is all it is worth to me. I haven't even read the thing.

No local, no engine changes as of late.

NW's imposed terms here. (pdf file)

PTO, you should take the time and energy to at least read the thing.

 

[PlayTheOdds]

I didn't spend much time on it but I did glance through it. It is as much as I expected. I'm sorry I'm not very interested, it’s just that I could care less what it says. To me its not worth the paper its printed on. That contract has nothing to do with my decision to work for Northwest.

 

[Hackman]

Yeah 'Cods, we all know that the only way you could get on at a major was to be scab during a strike. You will care about your contract at some point. You are right though, it isn't worth the paper its printed on, your an "at will" scab.

Hackman:

PTO is an "at will" employed person. He has a job and does his best every day.

The vast majority of workers in this country fall into that category.

Union lemmings like you, who do the bidding of their handlers, are sit-at-home unemployed grunts.

What do you do with your contract these days? Is it sitting on your union altar at home alongside the picture of your Union BOD, where you worship every day while home and not being paid?

Actually it's more like 14%, despite one of the most anti- labor governments in the world. Slighting and insulting people will get you nowhere. It's probably why you are very, very, very junior mgmt. after 20 years.

Well again gramps, 'Cods is a "at will" scab, not what I'd really call a legit Scab Air employee, as he had to wait for rogue management to force a strike to get hired. This is why Scab Air mantainence is now so piss poor and a hazard to the flying public.

The vast majority of workers today are losing pay and benefits at an alarming rate to management fat cats who care nothing about the company or its employees, as long a they can stuff exorbitant amounts of cash into their greedy pockets. Surely with all your rocking chair time gramps you have read the constant federal convictions of rogue management, and even the SEC's criminal investigation into Scab Air's own "Management Team". Very nice indeed, hopefully a conviction will result. Democratic unions (Non AFL-CIO) are needed more than ever.

Management underlings like you gramps have the golden tongue, as your so used to bootlicking and being on your knees in front of the man to get your next "promotion". I am gainfully employed gramps, I work for AA, nearly 20 years. My friends that used to work at NWA (before Scab Air) are all very happy to be working in other fields away from the airlines, they had no trouble getting hired with their skills. Thanks for the insults gramps, keep them coming.
