AWA/US/APA contract morsels
One thing that always drove me nuts as a line pilot during CBA negotiations is that we did not have access to industry contracts at OAL's like union leaders do.
I'd like to offer the AWA CBA to anyone that may wish a copy.
We should all have a copy of the current APA contract, if you don't get one ASAP. For any fUS's, west or east, that don't have a copy, you can download it on Wings.
All pilots of US and AA should have all three contracts. Education, knowledge, and collaboration is what will make us successful in the coming JCBA.
Sticking to fiefdom mentality, jealousy, and misdirected emotions like anger will divide our new group, weaken our resolve to focus on core issues, and dissolve sour solidarity handing the other side the leverage they need to out-negotiate us. Remember, the most powerful tool Parker's team has used against AWA/US pilots is the division of the group. Don't fall into that trap!
Now that we have that out of the way:
The thrust of this thread is for us to share our favorite morsels of our contracts and discuss our contracts features.
We are all adults so let's be sure to post with care.
-no personal attacks.
-stick to the topic, no thread creep.
-be civil and respectful with each other.
