Thread: Drafts and insufficient reserve notifications

Quote: Originally Posted by FDXLAG Well once again we will have to disagree.

Sec. 25.M.3.v. is in the contract to specifically allow the company to use R24s to cover for a shortage of non R24s. There is no language that restricts it's use to non 4A2b scenarios. Should there be? In hindsight, yes! I guess we will have to partly agree and disagree. It is not 4A2b. They could exit 4A2b tomorrow and still keep minimum...

Presto, schedule was changed. This was the first interaction I have had with an...

I don't feel I've been "bent over," that much, so we'll agree to disagree on that one. As far as other employee groups, I'm well aware of the stories of the anti-pilot rallies back when you were negotiating contract 1 (I wasn't here yet.) Not something I would have been happy to...

So here we are. Supposedly preventing or delaying into 2010 What if the company were to be called on this bluff? Could they build every bid pack between 48/60 and 61/73?

Quote: Originally Posted by Busboy What did we roll over on? The contract says that the company can use R-24's for HSBY, if there are not enough non R-24s. Well, there are not enough non R-24s. You know, one of the dangers of going through the system board process is that the arbitrator might just come up with a resolution that is worse than what we can get the company to settle on. The problem is that they(the company) determine what a...

Heaven forbid that someone disagree with you, or dare to be pro-company in any way, shape or form. Being a pilot here has got to be one of the best, easiest jobs in the world, for one of the best companies in the world. I don't...
