Reserve question:

While on short call how do the groupings work? I know anything more than 4 days you are grouped with others with 4 days or more. According to the contract it is suppose to go by Raw score, then inverse seniority when the score is the same within the same grouping.

If I have 6 days available (and senior) and someone else has 8 days available (and junior), and we both have a score of 0, who would get the trip (say a 4 day trip)?

Does having more than 4 days available come in to play at all?

Thanks.

He was all of those things. Only those people like you who owe your DALPA career to Moak would try to state otherwise.

O'Malley is behaving just like Moak, with one exception: Moak flat out didn't care about other opinions unless those opinions aligned with his. O'Malley is the same, but he at least pretends he's interested, where Moak never pretended.

I hope you don't go back to lurker mode MC. Guys like slowplay and other unelected MEC administration bureaucrats need to be held accountable when they come here and distort facts.

Carl

Yes, but that's what slowplay touts as action! Ignore the fact that SWAPA and IPA represent the highest pay in our industry...we must hate them because they've never inflated any giant rats!

Sigh,

Carl

Please keep it up Rolf. Most of us really appreciate hearing the actual facts from you because our version of ALPA repeatedly lies to us about the SWAPA contract.

Carl

Hey Carl, I couldn't care less about what he is touting about the SWAPA contract. The bug under my blanket about guys like him is that he wants us to get a better contract so that they can benefit without ever having to do squat themselves. They are the worst kind of parasite. SWAPA has done nothing to better this industry... nothing.

Why yes. So does the NBA refs union. Also, the former ALPA president and a distinguished fellow aviator thinks he's great as well. See below:

All of these other opinions notwithstanding, I know you probably hate the Seham firm because of their lack of rat inflation activity.

Scoop

We could absolutely operate on day one with the SWAPA contract exactly as is. Sadly, the only thing we would have to change is SWAPA's scope to allow our current outsourcing contracts to sunset via some type of transition agreement. All other portions of the SWAPA contract will work on day one.

I'm advocating a total replacement...not rewrite. Throw our POS contract in the garbage can, and put the total SWAPA contract on the table in its place.

We'd keep our current crew augmentation, just have 20 or 22 TFP's per long international leg. Easy.

This only shows you don't know what's in the SWAPA contract. It's not your fault though. DALPA spends all its time lying about what's in the SWAPA contract.

You have no idea what the NMB will look at. None. The NMB can look at whatever THEY decide they want to look at. This is why putting the EXACT same contract on the table as our biggest competitor is such a smart idea. That's a direct apples to apples comparison. Problem is, DALPA and management are one in the same, and neither one wants us to achieve anything close to C2K restoration...much less adjusted for inflation.

You should do the same. If you did, you'd realize that the SWAPA contract would require us to staff the same and probably slightly more due to our international operations. You'd also realize that SWAPA's scope would be the best thing for the bottom part of our seniority list. The fact that you are so willing to not fight for SWAPA's scope shows me that it is YOU who are willing to throw the bottom part of our seniority list out on the street.

Wise up!
