9 at signing and 9 on 1 JAN 16 for a 3 year deal or 9,9,4,4, on a 4 year deal?

 

The "RUMOR" is for a three year deal. Nine percent at signing, nine on Jan. 1st, 2016. Five percent each year after, for two years. Overall, with no other details, a 30% increase from current rates.

 

That was for a 3 year.. No other rumors. Better not include PS concessions

 

Of course that would include profit sharing concession, more relaxation of scope/JV, and change in how FO's bid with LCA.

 

Then it's a no, no, and no. From me at least.

 

AA and UA have less fleet types than we do, and AA is agressively getting rid of 88's (or wonder 80's or whatever they call them) and will soon have even less. Even now I think we lead the industry in fleet types, including types with significant operational and marketing overlap. All that needs to be backed out and credited for the marketing premium.

As for pay banding, even if we go to 3 bands there's major debate as to how much training that would really save. Unless we're talking increased freezes or whatever, which I'd hope wouldn't be in a TA. For a few years banding would probably cause as many moves as it saves. People don't just bid around for the relatively small hourly differentials between most categories as much as they do for relative seniority, bases, upgrades, types of flying and other factors. Change the game mid stream and you will create bidding in an attempt to save bidding.

 

This isn't directed at you at all, but even if that's true its irrelevant without the rest of it particularly scope, work rules and PS.

 

Just a friendly suggestion about worrying about internet rumors...maybe you ought to focus on training, getting through OE, and off probation. There have been a few that haven't been successful and don't have to worry about a contract vote.

If your internet pseudonym and posts are an accurate representation of your status, you'll have plenty of time to internet beyotch after that.

btw, welcome aboard!

 

Can I get a link to chit chat please???
