1. Deicing and not getting paid for it????!!!!!???? It is a fact that crews are "operating" the aircraft during the deicing phase. There are deicing checklists, switches to flip, and overall alot of responsibility to properly deice. GEEZ.....what are they thinking??!?!?!?!?!?!?
2. Two hour check-in? Sounds like the company wants you on their property so that they have more time to tinker with your schedule (i.e. Junior Man).
3. 2.1% pay increase AFTER 2 years??????!!!!! It's a known fact that salaries increases in general aren't keeping up with inflation.
4. No swaps / trades????!!!!!????
Good luck guys and gals. I'm sure I speak for the masses that your TA is garbage. Stand firm and send a message!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Unless I missed something, we would get paid for de-icing under the block or better provision.
No provision for repositions across the airport.
A big time NO from me, but wanted to clear up the de-ice thing. Block or better is the only improvement I see in this contract. The rest of the items are concessions.
