Just because I knew you would enjoy ...
Notes from APA Meeting :
- Name stays AA
- HQ in DFW US comes to Oneworld (hurts UAL)
- Pay banding Starting point is current green book. 5.5% raise on date of signing 3% / yrs 2-6, then avg of UAL/DAL
- A319 no longer a sep payband Vac goes to 3+40/day.
- Better accrual Hard freeze & 14% DC Plan
- PBS...US West pilots love it. Well managed. Lines 83. P/u to 90. Keep current rigs.
- Scope committee is "giddy" with what is offered. Parker doesn't understand code share. He wants the revenue. Max Dom code share = 4% of total asm's. Keeping AA's Boeing/Bus order. Very excited to get 787.
- Unsure about AE. Parker wants to see books then decide. Hates 50 seaters.
- Prob convert most 319 orders to 320/321's.
- Med costs will go from 14% to 17% (I think 1113 had it going to 26%.
Not a sure thing, but APA seems quite confident. No timeline given, more than 2 mos, possibly by end of summer. Horton is said to be steaming mad. Seniority may go to expedited arbitration. Expect percentile in type over any DOH (aka DAL/NWA) US East guys will get about 25-30% raise out of this.
