It was a grievance (not really the same as a lawsuit I don't believe?). Although I REALLY hope we won, I'd be really disappointed in MY union if the haven't put that word out to ALL of us dues paying members. Did I miss an email?

It is a Contractual Arbitration per Section 26K (new aircraft).
BTW I am sure ALPA would have published such a Win if it has occurred, don't you think?

Pardon my ignorance, (I've got plenty if someone needs some), but what does it mean to us if we win/lose this arbitration.
Thanks

Alpa (we) win, 777 pays the A380 rates in the CBA and 777 guys get it retroactively. Company wins (we lose) and the 777 pays WB rates like it does now. Of course, the arbitrator could go somewhere in between, also.

The "A380 Double-Plus" duty limits/rest rules are NOT a part of this arbitration.
Those rules have already been agreed to in our CBA and ONLY apply to the A380 - as specifically stated in the contract language.
Unless ALPA makes some kind of "deal", those CBA "A380 Double-Plus" rules that the company would like to apply to the 777 (as a replacement for the A380) will have to be negotiated separately from this Pay Rate arbitration.

Keep in mind......this arbitration (or whatever) is ONLY about the 777 pay rate.

Per all the Union info I have read and been emailed and in talks with my block rep:
If we lose the Arbitration, the 777 will be considered a Wide Body and WB pay rates in our contract will apply.
If we Win this arbitration, the 777 will be a new Category Aircraft or potentially the 777 could be added or included to the A380 Category.
The former is more likely imho.
If we win a new Pay rate will be established for the 777 and per Section 26K any new pay rate will be retroactive. At least that is how I read it and how it was explained to me by my block rep. Fingers crossed!
