For us to gain an industry leading contract, we will have to fight our union as hard as management because there's no difference between the two. We're trying to vote out ALPA and install a real union before negotiations begin, but we're still 2500 votes short. We have a very tough road ahead. Carl |

We here on APC are pretty involved, the trick will be to get the rest of the herd moving in the same direction. |

The way it won't is called apathy. Just finished a trip with a Senior ER A who was saying he should do that contract thingy - I had to tell him he had already missed the extended deadline.

I'm sure we could easily get 30, 40 maybe even 50% fake "raises" if we did little to nothing over scope and it took half a decade or more to get those fake "raises". By that time inflation/currency devaluation will have taken away most or all of our fake raise. COLA over time is not a raise, it is merely break even to account for wage destroying headwinds. Its like an additional couple thousand pounds of gas to fly west in a head wind. That's not optional or luxury gas, that's mission critical gas just to break even. COLA IS NOT A RAISE!!!!!!!!!! |

That's for working 14-15 days/month. Can't wait for Sailingfun to come along and tell us all that when including the higher DC, DAL pay is within a few % of SWA pay. :mad: |
This is not good!
Qantas responds to industrial action Sydney, 29 October 2011 Qantas today announced that, from 8pm AEDT on Monday 31 October 2011, it will lock out all employees who will be covered by the industrial agreements currently being negotiated with the Australian Licenced Engineers Union (ALAEA), the Transport Workers Union (TWU) and the Australian and International Pilots Union (AIPA). Virgin Australia has quickly responded to the grounding of Qantas' mainline domestic and long-haul flights that went into affect at 5pm on 29-Oct-2011 in a bold move to make three of Qantas' unions settle ongoing wage and job security disputes. In a nearly globally unprecedented occurrence, Virgin Australia is liaising with the Australian government to allow its alliance partners – Air New Zealand, Delta, Etihad and Singapore Airlines – to operate their foreign-registered aircraft domestically in Australia to help clear the impending backlog of Qantas customers. Qantas says it carrier 68,000 domestic and international passengers a day. George |
