Just the kind of employee you want working around live aircraft in a service role. They used to be called airline careers.

You can check out the PCE (read: Gate Agent) CBA Here:
http://www.iam141.org/docs/contract05UApce.pdf
Medical stuff starts on page 78.
Note: It's an old chart, but also includes a cap on premiums of 7% annually, so you could easily figure out what the "at the most" cost is as of today.
"Free movement" is not an apt term to use.
Many are told that it will happen sooner rather than later. Another problem with having hiring outsourced...
Doesn't make it right...
See above. Then take your righteous indignation and point it at People Scout, certain managers, and others who have an influence over the process.
Amen.

The job market is a free market. People can choose to accept the terms of employment or not.
There are plenty of people willing to work for the terms DL offers and if they stop coming, then DL would have no choice but to increase pay and benefits. DL does in fact offer benefits
You want to argue for a market controlled by a contract when the free market obviously does the job just fine.
If DL employees didn't know their job and weren't willing to work as good or better than their peers, DL wouldn't be showing the operational performance that they are - which is at the top of its peerset.

Oops, sorry; guess that might've helped...

That narrows it down... Lol.
Let's see: Swissport, WFS, ATS, Huntleigh, G2, etc.
'Course maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised, and DL will announce M/L staffing is coming back. That'd be the first station (re)opened since the merger

[sub]OK, I will narrow it down.... None Of the Above.....[/sub]
[sub] And yes, this is the forst step to bringing back M/L. DL can no longer say that they are saving 2 Million plus by having a subsidiary doing the work. [/sub]
[sub] "C'mon Delta, Bring M/L Back!"[/sub]

Good to know.
How does this pick correlate w/your comment about DL no longer being able to claim a 2m annual savings?

While DL had REAS and Comair working mainline in the past. The total savings was over 2 million yearly(not having M/L). This was due to the fact that the name aboved starting pay was $9.00 and top was around $14. They where able to pay this wages due to their partnership with DL.
MIA vendors (BY LAW) must pay a minimun (as of today) $13.41HR. This rate has gone up since the beginning of a cost of living program that began here back in 2003. The wages went from one day of $5.25 to $10.20 and have risen every 6 months or so to where we are at now. In Oct 23 it will go up to $13.89hr and keep rising to $15.00hr by winter of 2013.
So any contracter will have to charge DL at least $16+hr to be profitable.

Thanks for the info REPUS.
Question, How many flights does D E L T A have in MIA? How many M/L and how many regional?
Does it have to reach a certain amount of DL M/L flights to go DL M/L ramp?
I dunno.
Their is no guideline or reference to show one way or the other.

DL's MIA loads are very healthy these days....maybe strong demand will help.
The minimum salary thing at MIA is very interesting.... is this a MIA airport specific thing? I would be very interested in the legality of something like that....does it not apply to mainline employees? If not, it would obviously benefit them.
