JCBA Update: Negotiations Continuing
As reported earlier in a hotline message, the APA Negotiating Committee presented management with a comprehensive counter-proposal today designed to address the deficiencies in management's initial JCBA proposals.
Management's negotiators responded by indicating they would like to review our proposal during the next couple of days and prepare a response. Accordingly, our negotiating teams will meet again early next week. The APA board of directors recessed its meeting mid-afternoon and will reconvene Tuesday afternoon.
Key elements of our comprehensive counter-proposal include the following:
Scope modifications (review details here with proposed changes shown in "track changes" form)
In lieu of profit-sharing,
a pay component of 10 percent above the following pay rates:
Group I ? A 16.29 percent increase over the Jan. 1, 2015, MTA rate, but not less than the applicable first-year pay rate
Group II ? An increase to match DL
737-800 2015 pay rate
Group III ? An increase to match DL
767-300 2015 pay rate
