The question I asked about was UPS, what every other carrier has going on does not answer that question.

So my buddy sent me a screenshot of the MEC email. No contract until January. I want to join but pay rates are outrageous.

so its been like two months since this thread... any new updates on increased pay and new contract?

I have a friend in the current new hire class at Amerijet and the union told them the only thing holding up the TA is overtime language. Everything else has been agreed upon and when asked about hourly pay rates they were again told it is "better than Atlas and Kalitta". Seems ALPA national attorneys not going to let anything less than that get through.

Of course i'll believe it when I see it. Their current CBA needs some major renovations!

Excellent, hopefully it will be as it’s the nature of the beast to leap frog each other in this business. Greater gains at other outfits/competitors normally equates to greater gains for others. Not holding our breath ever, but we’ll have plenty to seek after these few years as the contracts roll forward in this environment and widget pulls ahead, other majors follow and Purple/Brown hopefully break free to maneuver accordingly and that’s where the targets truly lie. Rooting for everyone is a good thing!

Does anyone have an update on this?

DOA

No more 150% OT

Contract coming soon
 

Got off the press today thru a union communication :
Fellow Pilots:

Your Negotiating Committee and the Company have reached an agreement in principle (AIP) on the key financial terms of the next contract, and we are now working towards a tentative agreement (TA) on the full contract. An AIP, or Agreement in Principle is a steppingstone to a contract. It means the Negotiating Committee and the Company agree “in principle” to the fundamental terms of the agreement.

We will meet again with the Company next week to finalize a few remaining issues in hopes of reaching a TA in the next few sessions.

Congrats, guys!
