A few details on the American-TWU fleet services agreement
Here's what we've heard so far on the fleet services deal:
-It's a four-year contract with a 3 percent wage increase upon ratification and then three subsequent 2 percent wage increases each year.
-About 1,200 workers will be reclassified as the company outsources aircraft fueling and cabin cleaning.
-New hires will not enter the pension plan and instead will be offered a defined contribution plan, like a 401(k) plan. They will also have to pay for their own retiree medical benefits.

Nope, we just will not approve anything that allows them 3+ years of footdragging. We are not unreasonable however we refuse to be doormats as well. BK does not strike much fear in our group. Sure we may lose a few dollars an hour but sk, holidays and vc can`t get much worse. Restore our sk,vc, holidays and 6% over 4 years MAY have a chance as long as it starts on MAY 2008 and is amendable in May 2012. Oh and it would have to include language triggering automatic 3% increases every 6 months past the amendable. Easy huh?

I still want blood ... and a lot of it.
We may well get screwed over in a BK filing but at least the execs will get to share in the festivities. Giving the bastards what they want without benefit of the court system only guarantees more of what we've had since 2003.
All will take a hit in a BK filing but at least it won't be the workers alone.
Share the pain, boys.

I can see it now...
"We had a gun to our heads."
"This was the best we're gonna be able to do."
"If you don't vote yes, the next offer might be worse."
"At least this gets a little cash in the membership's pockets."
"We live to fight another day."
"We had a gun to our heads."
"This was the best we're gonna be able to do."
"If you don't vote yes, the next offer might be worse."

"We live to fight another day."

I agree, it is a done deal. But on the "never even told the fleet they were in talks this week" comment is false.LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its a done deal. the twu basically never even told the fleet they where in talks this week .WAKE THE %$^$& ^&
I and many of my brothers and sisters here in DFW knew about it last week. Also knew there would be an agreement
as my earlier post predicted eight hours before the announcement.
Here's what President Darin Pierce told his members today at their membership meetings. Keep in mind that President Darin Pierce was the clinching "YES" vote for this new definition of "concessions."
** 4 Year contract
** 6% lump sum sign on bonus
** 3% structural date of signing for the first year
** 2% structural for each year following (years 2, 3, 4).
** Loss of retiree medical
** Loss of cabin service, fueling, bus drivers
** Eagle seat miles will increase 100% from 6% current to 12% agreed to in TA
** 10 holidays @ double time
** 3 more sick days
** Medical premiums will freeze for first 3 years
** 1968 jobs lost
President Pierce told his membership that he will support them if they vote NO, AND.... he will support them if they vote YES. He also stated that he brought this TA back for a vote because he supports it. ???? what????
Congratulations To the presidents of MIA, BNA, DFW, LAX for redefining the word "concessions."
