"We have received the System Board’s decision* in the 777F pay rate case. Unfortunately, the arbitrator has determined that the 777F is a wide-body for pay purposes."

In Unity,
I hope our NC doesn't decide to put great negotiating capital in an attempt to secure A380 rates for the 777. People bid it knowing it was a WB rate and they took the chance that it would be ruled this way.

The ink wasn't even dry on the 2006 contract when the company announced it was cancelling the A380 order. Must have taken a lot of self-control for the company's negotiators to keep a straight face with all the back-and-forth over A380 rates--too bad the union side thought that jet was still in play.
So I'll go out on a small limb and predict--everyone who holds a current bid award for the 777 is going to be ALL in favor of negotiating a lot to get a higher pay rate for it. And the rest of the unwashed masses are not.
Let the debate continue...

Shot down again by the arbitrator. Imagine that. Perhaps the next time we're involved with an arbitrator we should just ask for his price list up front. I doubt our union dues would be enough though. Politicians are paid handsomely to vote one way or another on issues. Why should arbitrators be any different when millions of dollars are at stake. Not saying it happened but it's possible.

It's a widebody! Move along, nothing to see here. Don't waste any more of my money negotiating for more pay for this one airframe. The rate is obviously fine since so many people, including our formar MEC Chair bid it. How about a healthy pay raise for all!
