Default Amerijet has a new CBA

Dear Amerijet Employees,



We are pleased to announce that the Amerijet pilot group, represented by the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA), ratified a new pilot work agreement. The agreement will be effective for three years.



I want to thank the negotiating teams and ALPA for their efforts in reaching this agreement that recognizes our pilots’ contributions. The union agreement will provide job security for our pilots and allow us to focus on the future with our vision of becoming the go-to-world-class cargo carrier of choice.



As predicted by many, this new contract reiterates what many have known for decades, Amerijet is a great place to work and spend a career as a pilot.



I would also like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for all of your hard work and dedication.



Have a great weekend.

''agreement will be effective for three years'' means they'll negotiate for a new one after 3 years right? hope that doesn't mean it will go back to the previous low pay one

people really need to google RLA collective bargaining agreement or search it online here. If you’re going to work in this industry understanding how contracts work is pretty important.
this type of question pops from time to time and a simple search would answer the questions.

no, it does not revert to prior contracts
it continues in perpetuity (status quo) when section six guides negotiations for a new CBA, or extension can be negotiated. The process is severely tilted in favor of management and it’s not unusual for the status quo to run for several years negotiating a new contract. It takes forever and a day to get released to actually engage in a job action, and if you’re a large enough company you run the risk of the president ending your strike within seconds of it starting.

Here’s a link to a decent explanation

Thanks for the reply, mate! As I’m not flying in the states, I’m quite unfamiliar with how things work there. Now I’ve got some keywords to google. Thank you again.

What are the schedules like? 18/12, or split up? Just reserve days or lines of known scheduled flying? Average block hours for the month? Number of augmented vs 2 crew flights?

Generally 16/12 with a travel day on either end, all home based. Sometimes it ends up 16/9 & 16/15. There are 8/6 lines and one that is more like 5/8. A mix of 56 and 28 day lines. Minimum of six days in a row off. There are home and hotel reserve lines. Scheduled flying, build-up lines, a lot of support for China flying or you can be at home in Miami. A nice variety of flying if you have the seniority to hold it.
