They misquote and misinterpret the contract to the support their position until they finally give in after numerous emails and me quoting the contract over and over. I’ve worked for numerous companies over my adult life and I’ve never had to work so hard on just my pay stub. I’ll be at AA soon and, in my mind, leaving Envoy meant no more pay roll fights. Reading this post was like a gut punch. You can’t even fix that with a fresh contract. It’s just the way they do business. If they can get away with it because you’re not auditing your pay, the company save money at your GREAT expense. :-(
The most disheartening thing is that you will be at AA soon. Run.
6 1/2 hours to get a hotel because I refuse to be my own travel agent.
Midnight sims imposed on us when contract says no way.
volunteer seat fillers instead of check pilots.
Simulator training on Christmas and other holidays.
This week Isom and the new VP of flight have stated publicly that AA is not Delta. That means you will not be compensated as such.
I have had a good career but the entire time I have been here has been very frustrating. The one thing that has driven us down is management. They honestly believe things are just fine among our ranks. Once in the door they never fly the line again. They lose touch from reality or don’t care. Hetterman, Long, Price, Lavfold, Kudwa. All infamous managers that have never flown the line. Punches thrown, taxiing while on the cell phone, former head negotiator for APA, less than 3000 hrs flight time in a 32 year career at AA. I would add a certain senior manager that was recently escorted out of the building but I can’t verify yet. It happened this last week.
