and it should get GK's attention...SharoninSAT said:
Oh, it has. Several attempts at threatening AMFA 11 to pull ads or they will yank our economics package. Plus, we have heard some individuals were sent to leaders offices over the radio commercial ads. Some new signs might be in order for our Sep 23rd IP.SharoninSAT said:

A new clip has been added to the radio ads list for this week of Sep 19th. Along with our 40 year mechanics ad is another 15 year mechanics ad with the exact same feelings which is the same thru-out the entire membership. I will provide a link but if it does not work just goto www.amfa11.com and they are on the front page.
And here's another article without any mention what-so-ever of us mechanics still without a contract offer from the co. and were over 4 years now without a new contract...

Southwest Airlines: New Labor Contracts Will Drive Unit Cost Growth
AMFA National just released this memo the same week as the new radio ad is released, as well as the announcement that the National Officers election is now a done deal and all the new Officers will be sworn in on Oct 3, 2016. Nice to see the Pilots and F/A's will be joining in to show their support even though both groups have attained AIP's with the co. so now maybe it's our turn to get an AIP.

BTW; Has anyone heard anything about the co. passing how future maint will look like with the Max and future models? The NC was suppose to get this in writing from the co. on the 15th and then set meeting dates from there. Been very quiet since the 15th. An update would be nice to see where we are at...
Could you enlighten us? If I were a betting man I would say the co. backed out of yet another promise made by them. Like I have always said, we will not see anything this year. Which will be good as we start to enter the holiday months and most members are not reachable around the holidays while numerous folks are on vacations...SWAMX said:

It was basically stated that they want to pull some of the structural inspections from the c-check packages that were being done too often. It was stated the we routinely do checks at a higher frequency than what is needed. More stuff will be rolled into line mx as we have already seen. I know more was said but at this time I can't think of any other specifics. It was made clear they have no desire to get rid of in house c-check or heavy MX.
Oh, so now we are hearing 3 things that we have not heard before.
1- Now they don't want to get rid of "C" check line
2- MR last letter stated that the co. no longer wishes for relief from the 4 heavy lines of maint.
3- They want to pull out of San Salvador (nothing at all is preventing them from doing this)
There needs to be an update from AMFA about where we are at in nego's. From what I have been told there will be no meetings until some time in Nov.

Pilots vote to send AIP to members for a vote. This now will turn the AIP into a T/A by the MEC of SWAPA voting in favor to send to the membership. However, with that said, SWAPA is also puting out that they are not recommending a yes or no vote so they will remain neutral.
Now, I ask SWA where is our 15% 401k match offer. The co. just made it much more tougher to come to a contract with the mechanics. Also they need to increase the signing bonus to "EQUAL" full retro. Increase the snap a few %'s, and increase the yearly raises to 3-5%, add protection language, add vac ect...
