With all this talk about non-concessionary pay scales and work rules going into this contract, I'm shocked L-XJT reps agreed to something less than us. Didn't we have long discussions about adding to the pay scales and how we want the moon? What happened to the backbone?

Actually the LXJT did a pre-arranged deal with the company prior to Arbitration on many items. Then they asked the Arbitrator to include them in his ruling so the ASA MEC would not have ratification rights to agreed items. They did it to save McKnight's SmartPref.

So yes, they knew what they were doing the whole time. They screwed us. And their scheduling chairman is even over on The Pipe bragging about it.

What has happened is a ****ing match and the LXJT leaders, and negotiators, feel they know everything there is to know about negotiating. What they haven't noticed is that they are going to have to give up even more. And then there is the SEN. List.
To me it sounds like someone that is bipolar.

You would have if your reps would have submitted only the open issues. And Arbitrator only rules on very narrow issues. This "book" that came out from him was done before it got to him.

The Company exercised a clause under their current CBA to negotiate a rate for a new aircraft. They are able to do this. They did not involve the ASA MEC at all in the process. They did not involve the ASA Negotiators either. Meaning they did not use every possible resource to secure the best possible deal for their pilots.

I really feel sorry for the line guys at LXJT. This whole process has left them out there without the tools to understand and to be educated on this whole process. They should have been included in the education process along the way.

(Unless my math is off) It looks like the new L-XJET 70-seat rates are about an average of 2.8% lower than the current L-ASA 70-seat rates. Obviously not ideal, and I'm sure they will exert downward pressure on the JCBA rates, but how much damage will 2.8% really do?

I'd say its pretty damaging if we get these new rates shoved down our throats.
