The IBT has committees like hotel and scheduling and such so why waste money on parallel committees? Opening al the sections NOW would be a problem since we have only been working on the 4. I imagine it would start everything back at square one which would CERTAINLY make things go on longer. It's funny you mention "morale" as a potential improvement. RAH does not care about morale. RAH doesn't care about promises made on a TV program. RAH does not care about increasing wages under reasonable methods... no raise for captains? Only captain raise would be based on profitability metrics that RAH has never obtained? Really? That's good faith and reasonable? As far as the LOA lawsuit, you can't create something that repeatedly modifies contract terms unless it is with the bargaining representative. joint councils would not have worked here and RPC was a scam... I starting to repeat myself from before...
nbecca you have a low post count so i would guess you were here before under a different name? i doubt that any of these posts are new to you. Heck, most of them are just repeated over and over creating thread drift.
So joint councils can work for the FA's but not the pilots? Gate Gourmet and IBT? Polar and Atlas?
LOA 67 was under FAPA, when we were the negotiating union. What is illegal about that?
What was the participation for members in good standing last week? 1!
For the open meeting? 0!
Enough said!
