Pinnacle Contract

The rumblings are that the contract might be signed in the next 2 weeks. If this is true, we could get a much needed moral boost. I have heard the fo's will be compensated much much more than they are now.

you aren't kidding brother. The "guy" even said in the conference call he is ready to sign the ta for most of the contract, they will be working on compensation this week. I sincerely believe that because we held out for a GOOD contract that this place will actually be a very good place to work. our mec proves why a union is a good thing to have. they haven't put up with any thing and we will have the contract to prove it.

I have to admit I just went to airlineapps.com and had them submit mine to pinnacle. I'm really wishing for the best for you guys. Both of my CFI's worked there. One said it was ok the other didn't like it. On a side note I thought this had to go through by like March 4th or something like that? PS. I look all over and can't find it. What's MEC stand for? Majority Elected Chairman?

The March 31st deadline was imposed by the latest ASA (Airline Service Agreement) with NWA. Basically it says if we can't get our ducks in a roll by the end of March, they can take away 15 RJs away... But NWA has put so much flying to 9E there's really no way that's gonna happen, unless they can pick up the flying themselves...
MEC = Master Executive Council. Basically it's the Congress of an airline union. The LEC (Local Executive Council) votes in the guys in MEC, and therefore represents all the little guys within the airline. The general population eligible union pilots votes in the LEC guys. We have 3 LECs councils, one for each base we have, i.e. MSP, DTW and MEM. Hope it make sense.
