Comair updates?
#6482
ALPAs position was to talk about voluntaries and part time stuff. But ALPA has a valid point, Comair has NOT held up the contract in any way shape or form, and there are DOZENS of out of date and disputed contract claims. They're not necessarily dealing with minor things first, it's more like.."Ok, you guys agreed to this, but aren't upholding it, how are we supposed to negotiate more right now while you are blatantly violating this this and this?".
IF anything, the current negotiations will keep the affected pilots on the job LONGER. We are required to have 60 days notice, and Comair wants part time/voluntary stuff JUST as much as ALPA.
Please guys, call your status reps, they will dispel a lot of this. I can't remember everything that was said, but i was in the same mindset as a lot of you (union is (#$@)#@*$ us). I no longer believe this is true.
NOTE: JFK FO reps number on the alpa webpage is wrong...it's ...-239-....
CALL!

If they continue to break the contract then why don't we take them to court. Not sure if there is anything thats says we can or can't but it is fact that the 2 sides dont get along. A court order will legally force them to follow the contract. Unless we are in the wrong which will force us to shape up. I hope they are not blowing smoke up our rear ends. It seems like both sides are. And why can't the tell us anything. I have called and am now playing phone tag, at least there is a call back now.

I got right through to the Captain rep for JFK. DO NOT forget that these are people working TWO full time jobs, I understand the frustration but just keep trying and they will call back. You're talking about a handful of reps for 1500 pilots, i'm sure there are a lot of phone calls to deal with.

Well the furlough list is out on Epic - I didn't get my voluntary furlough and I'm senior to the guys who got furloghed. Who do I file a greivance with - ALPA or F'nSoaper?
Are Sept 1st furloughs getting enough notice to keep it legal?

Looks like around 90 pilots, so basically all the new hires since March are going to get furloughed as of now.

They haven't offered Voluntary furloughs yet. Those were just LOA's that were offered.
