Nothing new... they have been since the day dulles opened. Supposedly DFW is almost as bad

 

Probably because those birds are some of the oldest in the fleet.

 

Yep 820 is there.

It's always been a **** show up there. I did it for about 6 months. The mx in IAD only has pens and more discrepancy logs.

 

Other than for the crew at IAD, there's not much to talk about. The United operation is worlds apart from Delta.

 

No good rumors circulating right now huh?

TA news?

 

We realize this, they are parking 3 this month. We are so short staffed, that it will negate the issue with hiring at majors. Plus duty rules kick in January. There will be no changes essentially.

 

What is the first year pay on ERJ vs CRJ?

 

I think around $23, plus/minus a few cents. Either way, not enough.

 

Current CRJ FO pay is $23.23 for the first year. Second year is $36.13 on the 200 and $39.14 on the 700/900.

Here’s the latest on the status of our joint negotiations. Both MECs met in Atlanta two weeks ago to review and discuss remaining open issues, after which the group compiled a roadmap for the JNC to use during this week’s meeting with the Company and Mediator Michael Kelliher from the National Mediation Board.*
*
With the roadmap in hand, the JNC worked last week to craft positions on the few remaining open issues pertaining to Scope, Pay Rates, Retirement & Insurance, Scheduling, and MIN Day/Duty Rigs. We will also use this guidance from our MECs to respond to management’s counter proposals, as needed.
*
We look forward to working with Mediator Kelliher this week, and are hopeful that with the NMB’s assistance and oversight, we can make substantial progress towards a joint contract.

Fraternally,
