You stated in another post that this was brought up to the MEC and they shot it down? I didn't know that. Was there a reason given? I would really like to hear their line of thinking for throwing this out. It continues to amaze me how many people affected by this don't know anything about it. As I have stated before, it is the principle of this that pi$$es me off. The contract says pay bumps occur at DOH. What it should say is "pay bump occurs at DOH, unless you are a FNWA pilot, then your pay bump is the way it was under the old contract that doesn't exist anymore".
I understand that this only affects a handful of people, but the fact of the matter is it's a violation of the contract. I am outraged to hear that the MEC passed on the chance to fix this. I am going to try and get to the bottom of why they would do that. I'll post my findings.
Resolutions were passed in the DAL-N LECs last year to fix this and everytime it got to MEC it was shot down as no action taken. we basically got "we tried to get yall included under the DOH but not enough people are effected by this to try and change it." basically Tough Chit
when the agreed on the joint contract it specifically excluded us from getting paid per the contract. There was a pretty big group of us fighting this but ultimately got nowhere once it got to the MEC level
To clarify, We passed resolutions about the
pay longevity as well as the DC contribution disparity, to which NOTHING was done once it got passed our LEC guys. It passed in our LECs unanimously as everyone realized it was wrong but again the DALMEC didnt even bother with looking into it.
