Horton is in the process of terminating the contracts of all unions!!!!!! Have you read his proposal on sick?? Have you read is proposal on duty rigs? Have you read his proposal on 319 pay? Have you read his proposal on SCOPE? Have you read and agree with any of the 1113 proposals???
Isl80,
I have read the term sheets.
Let's review the differences between AA and US:
1. A-fund AA - proposed freeze, US - none
2. B-fund AA - convert to 13.5 percent, US - 10 percent
3. 401k same both carriers
4. Sick AA - managed plan, US - unknown but the US guys can fill us in.
5. Scope AA -1/2 the number of m/l jets, US - 1/2 the number of m/l jets(in Parker's proposal to APA)
5. Pay AA - the guys do the bottom take a slight hit, US - so far only a proposal to APA and none to US pilots yet.
Clearly, I'm not suggesting any of this is easy. Let's see what Parker and Kisrby are willing to put in "final contract language" for the combined operation on all of these areas, then we can argue on the merits. Right now they are promises written in sand.
