Same thing was tried not long ago and was deemed a violation per the concessionary contract we signed.
It's funny how the brigade does and has never done one thing wrong and the current union can't do one thing right. Nothing personal but, I'm just pointing out there are two sides to all stories. Newer guys need to made aware of such instances so they aren't repeated. Right?
LOA 35 reads:
THEREFORE, while the present agreement is in effect and in order to assure proper administration of pilot payroll, prevent delayed or inaccurate payments, and to improve the ability of pilots to check and understand their paychecks, the parties agree to resolve the pending grievance alleging the Company's failure to properly administer payroll, e.g., SPA-07-110 (but not the individual claims concerning same) by amending Section 3. L. 2 of the CBA in the following manner:
I misspoke. The LOA only settled the MEC greivance resulting from the hundreds of pay NCC's. Mis speak or not, the substance of my argument stands. You guys keep fighting emotional battles because of what you think happened rather than the reality of what happened.
Nothing personal, but your side of the story was just proven wrong. Might you now accept that everyonce in a while, the people telling you what happened could maybe be as wrong as they tell you my side is? I just gave you truth. They've been giving you their emotional perceptions of a difficult time period. The facts are what they are.
"Someone" wants, needs, for history to show that they were justified in torpedo-ing SPA ALPA's efforts to get a contract in 2007 because "LOA's are flying off the table, they're throwing the contract away" That claim was wrong then and time hasnt changed that fact.
Your contention of the management flying LOA is also incorrect. You wanna rethink your position?
