Keep in mind, the judge can only block the union's ability to strike for 30 days.

don't get me wrong im not calling you out but be careful with the wording. 93% of the pilots that voted authorized a strike but it doesnt say how many voted. it will be interesting to see what happens.
"Comair pilots overwhelmingly supported the union’s strike authorization ballot with more than 93% of the responding pilots voting in support of the measure." http://www.alpa.org/DesktopModules/A...=2618&Tabid=73 |

If that is the case where the company can just cry to a judge. Then what good is the union at all?
Then Mesaba gets to implement it's own pay scale on the employees, because they are now "bankrupt". It's BS, we all know it including the executives, and it's the trend so far. |
I just got the word a little while ago. Average pay cut is 11%. This starts Dec 30th. Also minimum days off while on reserve goes from 12 to 11. 1 hour less of vacation time per period from 21 hours to 20 hours. Apparently this is the same agreement that was proposed last spring.

"Judge Adlai Hardin"
you got his name folks, i think its time people start paying midnite visits to these judges houses |
To add some corrections and clarifications....
I have been here (Comair) for 3 1/2 years and would be more than happy to walk out. I,as a 70 FO, am going to take a 22% paycut while a 50 seat CA takes 8%. This is the cut on the hourly rate only. Per diem drops from $1.75 to %1.55, 75% pay on deadhead, along with some drops in value for vacation pay/accrual. Oh, but we will get a profit sharing plan..woo-hoo! Whatever! |

I don't understand how a "judge" can block a unionized pilot strike. I don't see how that is against the law. If that is the case where the company can just cry to a judge. Then what good is the union at all?
In this case there is a major grey area... The Railway Labor Act normally prohibits pilot strikes except in certain cleary defined circumstances (basically you need the federal governments permission to strike). In bankruptcy, if a judge throws out the pilot's contract, it would appear that the RLA no longer applies, since it is based on the existence of a contract. A bunch of guys can't just be forced to come to work for whatever the company wants to pay...we do not have provisions for indentured servitude in this country (except in the military). |
what about the CRJ200 FO pay scale?
