You whiny bastards haven't even seen the damn thing yet. It's a bit insulting to the negotiating committee to start ****ing and moaning about it before it's even out. At least wait until there is more than leaks and rumors to complain. "My union speaks for me" shouldn't stop because we have a TA. Let them get it out and 'splain it a bit first, eh?

Do some of you guys even know how changing the trip rig over night affects manning levels? The company can not do it over night. They will need time to hire more guys. So the phased in part of the contract. Use your head before you spout stuff....

Given that its got to be printed and mailed, I figure some time early next week when we get our copy of this agreement.
It could be available earlier via the web, possibly in pdf format. Question: Anyone know when we will see these documents??

Also, for the UPS lurkers, is your "contract" available to be seen via Internet and if so, where??
Did you not get the current ALPA message line? Its all in there!

Assuming there is a change to trip rig, tell us that do not understand, how an improved rig requires an increase in manning ? Lets use 3.75/1 for arguments sake. Thanks

Hmm, I don't recall us being OVERmanned when the last contract came in to effect and the trip rig changed on that one, and that was a 17% change the other way!

Assuming that the build hours per line per month did not get raised, which I don't think they would have done, then for example a month with two week on week off pairings with the added one day trip filler would probably lose the filler. Yea!, no more calling in sick for that trip when they wouldn't let you drop it. Kills two birds with one stone; no more stupid filler trips and lots less sick calls. ACPs should be happy. I'm not a build wizard, but this is the most noticible change that would occur, so someone will have to fill all those filler trips. Obviously not a huge manning increase, but I'm sure there are many more ripple effects.

Don't get me wrong, I say implement now, but realistically it may be a stretch.

Well said. It's all been explained on the message lines, emails, and website, (and ALPA C&BL). Stay connected and pay attention. They need this week to finish the contract language, then after the holiday, present it to the MEC so they can give it the thumbs up or down. It's all a part of the process. We'll get it next week. Be patient (and professional).

Default Trip Rig, etc.

Some insight into what it might be from the ALPA position back in Oct 05:

Trip Rig:
- DOS: 1:4 with block over 6:00
- DOS+1: 1:3.90 with block over 6:09
- DOS+2: 1:3.75 with block over 6:24

MPPDP:
adjusted to reflect the new value of a day corresp. to each trip rig value.

Duty Rig:
- Domestic day 1:2.0
- Domestic night 1:1.92 to 1:1.58
- Domestic critical 1:1.5 to 1:1.25
- INternational 1:1.92 to 1:1.58


The T/A is probably something between this and what we have now. If the numbers improve, it's all good.

Dump any amount you want into open time and we will suck it up at staight time. This solves any manning issues. Oh yea we'll sell back our vacation for a little extra and trample each other for time and half after we finish our carryover trip.
