Snack basket negotiations
 

I realize it's early. The CBA still has - what? Another 15-16 months to run? But it isn't TOO early to voice your opinion to Compass ALPA negotiators on what the contents of Compass snack baskets should be. Input from FAs, either here or to your own FA Union reps are also welcome.

You're assuming that there will be a Compass around in 15-16 months......

No official statements but word on the street is Delta isn't renewing your contract? Rumor I heard was Delta dropped you and Gojet for 2019?

Wrong thread for Compass is about to die. That's been playing out for years on the main Compass thread. Also that Delta was buying us back, Republic had already bought us, and several dozen other rumors. Now I don't know if any of them will ever come true or if so when. But the contents of the snack basket are a definable issue, and important enough to take to the National Mediation Board under the RLA if we can't get satisfaction.

We just gotta break management and remember the words of the late Señior Emiliano Zapata, the original snack basket auditor:

"Es mejor morir de pie que vivir de rodillas"

Swe-dish-fish!
Swe-dish-fish!
Swe-dish-fish!

1,2,3,4- we won't take it any-more!
5,6,7,8- we want better snacks to taste!

God the AA basket blowsssssssssssssssssssssssss..

You guys have one up on us at the WO’s, and that is you have Oreos. We might give concessions on flow in the next TA for Oreos.

We are actually getting stapled to mainline. They want us a fly the C-Series. Haven’t you heard? A flight attendants cousin told me.

Back to reality, our contracts aren’t even up for renewal until 2020 or 2021. So just some fake news.

Now that I've gained 33.7 pounds off the snack basket, how about we shift our efforts a little. Pistachios, beef jerky, other lean and low, or no, carb snacks. And why no more almonds? We only have peanuts. Have we sunk that low? We're literally working for peanuts.

Some people can't help themselves and the sky is always falling. I heard we wouldn't be able to staff classes and we'd cancel half of our flights this summer, yet classes are full.

As for the Airbus 220, I already have the EPs and memory items verbatim. Just waiting for the call coach, put me in!

Double the amount of Biscoff! :D
