BTW, Thumbs is right. ALPA should bring a proposal thats higher than the current Alaska rates. And rules. Im pretty sure ALPA has brought that too. The company consistently uses rates to negotiate the ALPA rules requests. The problem the company faces is that our rules suck so bad that there's nothing to give back.
Our pay rates are so far behind industry average that there's nowhere to negotiate rules for rates. They're beat at the table. So, the only way to negotiate when you're beat is to stall. The longer you stall the more you save. The only thing that ALPA could propose to speed things up would be a signing bonus that increases every month we operate without a TA.

True, but it was unclear if the scheduling concessions they wanted were from current book or from the new sections they had already closed out. Either way, they offered substandard rates and they wanted concessions just to get those. It was beyond insulting.

The current book is so vague, and favors the company in every respect. The reserve rules pretty much state “we own you for 16 hours from your RAP start.” Oh and management will call and trick you into extending to an 18 hour day.

Specific details were not released from either side. However the company seems more willing to negotiate in public. The company also cherry picks snipits and drops letters to the group as if ALPA is holding up the show...
Our union leaders said the last offer wasn't worth the time to read it as has been stated above. So JMO, it was a waste of paper.
