"Adjusted pre-tax margin for the fourth quarter 2014 was 19.7 percent, up 4.3 percentage points year over year. For the full year 2014, adjusted pre-tax margin was 19.2 percent, up 2.1 percentage points compared to 2013"

They got money

 

Time to get when the getting is good...let's not fall for some two year amendment that's running around the rumor mill. We need to get all we can now! In two years, who knows where the industry will be.

 

In two,years we will still be negotiating

 

True...............

 

Hope not, how can DAL/NWA, UAL&Cal, and AA/US get all of theirs done in less than or around two years. I'd imagine that has to be more complicated than ammending our current CBA

 

Why is this ridiculous rumor still floating around? It was debunked by the union as complete garbage, yet it's still being brought up.

 

What has been done about this?
Why are we allowing this disregard to our contract and work rules?
We all need to communicate this to our scheduling committee.
Gather proof of incidents and file a group grievance.
I have spoken to several pilots about getting this started.
Since this is an anonymous forum, I will not ask anyone to contact me.
I will be talking to the union and hope we have several calls in to work with. Strength is in numbers.
I am willing to volunteer my time, to start this process.
Having been there before, I know it takes some work and perseverance from our part, but the end result is well worth it.

-Imagine knowing exactly where you stand in the callout priority list.
-Strict adherence to the "assignment methodology".
-No out of base reserve coverage.
-No calls during "rest time".
-No breaking up trips to accommodate Mr. G.'s schedule manipulations.
-No open time removal prior to 12:00, two calendar days prior.
-No hiding of open time, to reserve assign, unless only for training purposes.

I would be happy to expand or debate on the above.
The list is long and could get longer, if we all participate.
Mr. G. is NOT our boss!

We fly by the contract.

 

Agree. I used to do layovers all over the world, and in some wacky places in a past life. Glad to be overnighting in the good old US of A.

 

It's still floating around because on, at least one that I know of, negotiator is floating it. I won't speculate on his logic.

 

I don't mind a 2-3 term as long as it's a new contract we find acceptable and not some extension of our crappy contract. Why sign a 5 year deal when ultimately a 5 year deal becomes 7-10? Even with a long term contract, if things were to get bad one day it doesn't stop any management from coming for concessions mid term. It does however extend the pilot groups opportunity to get their next raise if times remain good. 2-3 contracts are the sweet spot now IMO.
