When the first contract passed, back in 98, I asked a manager the day before if the company was going to do away with the negative airman list, as was rumored by the "no" guys.
He said, the contract is silent on that, so he didn't see why the company wouldn't keep it.
The next day, the contract passed, and the negative airman list was gone!
So, the moral of the story is, if it is not in lawyer proof black and white language, the company will do what they please, to their benefit, not ours.
I don't know that is why I asked the question and am waiting for the answer. I do know they have to pay me half my BLG
every 15th of the month. If we take my 80 hours a month average over 12 bid periods and they drop it to 10 bid periods that means instead of every 15th me getting 40 hours now every 15th I would get 50 hours.
Not sure what else I can say, if there is no 12 bid month guarantee this is enough for me to vote no, if there is I personally like 6 week bid months. In the past when going from a 5 week to a 4 week or vice versa I have had to work 3 weeks straight. This would help fix that.
