Miami has an icecream machine close enough

It was in a recent ALPA email from the negotiating committee. Its going to be a long road but at least its on the table.

“Each crewmember on duty will be allotted one (1) dispensing cup issued by the crew coordinator per duty day. Notwithstanding G.1(a), the company will make a reasonable effort to rotate the flavors at each domicile every contractual month. At company discretion, the flow rate of smoothie machines will be limited to 29oz, or 50% of total AAG smoothie mix purchase volume each month that AAG places their smoothie mix order.”

Lol! Gold! Nominate for post of the day.

I laughed out loud. Your last sentence was pure and original gold. Still smiling in afterthought.

Pay and reserve are always on the table, nothing new here. AAG Would have to give raise to each w/O if they agree to any raise. What you think of the chances of it happening.
Remember us air management does not care about your feelings or financial security, they only care about theirs.

Got another interesting hunch
Company waiting for the high longevity guys to flow and the mean years on property to drop down
Much easier to advertise awesome 12 year pay when the bulk of 8.5 to 11 year Eagle guys are at AA
If the flow then stays at 7.5-8 years, the pay will have to go up considerably or 1/3-1/2 of the pilot force will bolt to LCCs

Why would they have to match at each W/O? We didn't get nor ever saw 300% OT like PDT, or flowing 2011 hires like PSA. So I don't see why they would have to match.

Can we even fit a smoothie machine in the JFK crew room/closet?

JFK doesn't have a crew room closet. That's for airport stand by crews.

You have to slum it out with the ground crew.
