RAH Company Pay Counter Proposal
 

Pilots – Negotiation Updates

August 24, 2012 By RJET

The Company and union negotiating committees met with the NMB mediator today (Friday, Aug. 24) in Charlotte, NC, where the Company presented its new pilot compensation proposal. The proposal includes additional increases to the First Officer scale previously presented to the union and increases in compensation for the majority of our Captains. The entire compensation proposal would ensure that our pilots are paid above the average for our industry competitors.

The fact that the Company and union were able to meet and the Company was able to present this proposal proves that, if the parties continue to meet and work together, a solution can be reached.


We look forward to continuing to work with the union to reach an agreement our Pilots can vote for, the Company can afford and that is in the best interest of all of our employees.



Pilots – Negotiation Updates

Nothing to see here

no......no.....nothing yet.......alright ill be back.

Thanks for the update, Wayne!

once again, nothing happens..... We will meet again after the elections in Nov.

Well, it’s good news that we’re making progress. I’m sure this isn’t the company’s LBFO, so we can continue Mediation and not worry about being released yet.

It is interesting that the membership gets to read about the day of negotiations from APC and the company’s website before the EBoard or the NC tells us anything. Do we have a communications person or committee? If not, maybe we ought to consider it.

I guess we know what the company’s initial offer for FO’s is, anyone going to say what the “increases in compensation for the majority of our Captains” are? Or will we get to read it here or on the company’s website first?

That was drafted before the meeting and posted as soon as they walked out the door. Give the union guys at least 24 hrs to get something out...beyond that, and I'll grab my pitchfork and join you...but be reasonable.

If you were an actual Republic pilot you'd know that the NMB does not allow either side to make public the proposals and payrates; but being that you're actually an F9 pilot just posing as one of us, you may not know that.

I am well aware that the Mediator has placed a gag orders on both parties, but why can the company made public the proposed FO pay rates?

Why are they allowed to publish 1 half and we’re not able to publish the other half (“increases in compensation for the majority of our Captains”)?

Why does the gag order only apply to the union?

Should I change my user name to “41forlife”?

They didn't publish the proposed FO rates. They put out a FO pay increase proposal outside of contract negotiations. Two completely different things.

You notice they said that the proposed FO rates were higher than the previously proposed increase so they didn't actually have exact numbers?
