AIR Conference - Airline Industrial Relations Conference


WHAT IS AIR CONFERENCE AIR CONFERENCE is a voluntary, non-profit association serving as the Washington-based labor policy organization of scheduled air carriers in the United States. Created in 1971 as a vehicle for dealing with accelerating labor costs on an industry-wide basis, AIR CONFERENCE provides for inter-carrier exchange of information on negotiations and other employee relations matters. It is the only legally approved forum for joint study of labor policy matters of common interest to the scheduled carriers.
AIR CONFERENCE is governed by a Board of Directors composed of the Chief Executive Officers of all member carriers. The President of the Conference serves for a term of one year without compensation except for expenses authorized by the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board is composed of the chief employee relations officers at each member carrier. Annual operating budgets are determined by the Advisory Board subject to approval by the Board of Directors. General management of all Conference programs is under the direction of the Vice President.

Who Ford and Harris?

This pops up every year on this forum. They have been in place a long time.

Ironic how their homepage uses a photoshopped picture of an Airways jet, but USAir is not listed as a member of their conference.

Cheap design job, these guys are clearly all about saving money by sacrificing quality.

Apparently, they haven't been popping up often enough for you to know the name of the firm - Ford and Harrison.

Thanks for playing. Tell him about our lovely parting gifts, Jimmy!

I know the name of the firm sir, many of us just abbreviate it. I know who they are. Quite well actually.

What I find interesting is how many people who work for the union end up going to work for an anti-labor/unionbusting organization afterwards. It's almost like retirement for some folks.

Management's weapon against labor is the US gubbamint and the NYT. Anybody think that DAL/UAUA/AMR will ever be allowed to strike is delusional....

I can see the crying kids now... "But mommy.. those greedy pilots won't fly us to Disney World? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Dude; The guy has made eleven thousand+ posts. I'd say he gets here enough for us to claim he has no life outside of this forum.
