According to our union, no. Go read the email that the union put out yesterday. In the FAQ section they say that the company is prevented from changing the rates of pay in the UPA. The rate of pay that you were earning prior to the law taking effect can change if you change categories due to a displacement. The devil is in the details when it comes to laws, and this statute said that rates can’t be reduced, it does not state that employee income cannot be reduced. It stinks, but it is legal. It’s kind of like the 14th amendment never intended to create anchor babies, but if a woman violates federal law by entering the country illegally and has a kid, that kid is going to be given US citizenship. It never was the intent, but it is how the law is written.
The union sends out a memo that says is perfectly legal to do what they are doing....thanks!!! It's not what was expected though and the American public needs to know this. The union should be slamming the company for these tactics in the media.
I'm ready to sign a petition against it, hopefully the Union will lead us.

I agree with UAL97. This is clearly not what the taxpayers expected. Employees that went out and campaigned for this support to the airline are now being undermined by laywer loophole tactics and shenanigan's. It's always fun to see trick plays in little league baseball...like when the pitcher hands off the ball to the first baseman...but let's be honest there are livelihoods at stake here and we all know management is grinning and saying "gotcha".

Well then why are Delta, American and Southwest not playing these games?

It seems everything that's going on is his call. maybe not on paper, or official change of command ceremony, but rest assured it's his show. might be the gong show, but it's his. oscar is just shadowing the operation and is the public face for now.

We ALL are full up dues paying members. I think 6K plus a year should more than qualify for backing all the PAC's.

No idea. American is reportedly retiring the 330, 756, and E190 fleets, so there will definitely be some displacements. Maybe Delta and Southwest believe demand will come back much quicker. IDK. Kirby is either a genius or an idiot, time will tell.
