MEC announcement for May 10th, 2009:
Quoted from the email sent by Piedmont MEC:
We gave up quite a lot in the Small Jet Restructuring Agreement of 2002. It’s time to get a little back. On May 17th, along with being the amendable date of our current contract, we are going to get a few significant snapbacks. So close your eyes and pull the rubber band back, here they are:
·A 3% across the board pay raise
·A $.05 per hour increase to our per diem, which now goes to $1.55/hr
·.3 hr. taxi/tow pay (Taxi/Tow Pay in Sec 3.F.)

So according to our contract, we have a contractual pay raise coming on 5/16. Then this MEC says 3% on the 17th. Am I right to think we get the contract pay raise AND this 3% or does the contract pay raise come out to be 3%?

Checking the math our regularly scheduled contract raise on 5/16/09 comes out to be a even 3% raise.
Year 3 FO as example 32.54/31.59 = 1.03
I sure hope we get another 3% on top of that (although I somehow doubt it).
Another question regarding that same MEC bulletin:
"This past week attorneys from USAirways Group, Piedmont and PSA filed petitions to dismiss our case."
If I read that right, it sounds like Mailine, PSA, PDT mgmt groups are trying to stop us from having our flow-thru case heard in court? Whats up with that?
