2 year contract extension?
 

I’ve heard rumors of a 2 year contract extension with very small gains? Negotiated by one?

Nothing I hear about Carey surprises me anymore.

Just assume the worst about him, you will seldom be surprised.

Extend a crappy bankruptcy contract?

You just can't make this manure up.

You don't even know the details, if true I'm sure there's good reason.

Maybe we are able to negotiate gains in areas. Who cares how long our contract is valid for as long as we continue to amend and improve it? Small base hits are better than a long, protracted negotiating time line.

You're assuming too much.

Last time our boy Dan sat down and negotiated unilaterally, he pretty much gave away what tiny little work rules we had.

IN exchange for a min avg calendar day-which will likely never be implemented-or if it is will result in min days off for everyone.

How would avg calendar day result in min days off for everyone? Per JCBA that’s 10 days off for lineholders. That would make you way over the line construction window.

Just watch.

Maybe not min days, but I bet you never see 13 off again. With red eyes at the end of 4 days for 3/4 of your month, you will really feel it.

You’ve gone past assuming to just making things up.

13 days off would be 18 days of work in a 31 day month. 18x5:30 is 99 hours. Not going to happen.

Try again.

Dude, you’ve crossed the line into delusional territory. Do you just make this crap up or are you really that brainwashed by your PHL/Clt reps?

Not only will ACD be implemented, it will also improve our schedules and result in us having industry leading trip and duty rigs.

You need to stop listening to certain reps with agendas that have nothing to do with facts....and maybe start thanking Dan and those hard working APA volunteers who brought you these improvements.

Back to the OP topic. So, if we get industry leading hotel language, profit sharing, LTD and STD fixes, for a two year extension, I’d say it would pass in a New Jersey minute.
