Alaska contract

[Alaska Flyer]

ALPA and Management came to an agreement in concept today for a new 5 year contract. Sounds like it will take a couple of weeks to clean up some of the wording and then present to MEC so they can decide if it's worthy of a Tentative Agreement. We will see I guess...

Just yesterday, negotiations break down over pay and pow!.... we have an agreement in concept, 5 year contract to boot. Interesting indeed. It beats a fork in the eye. Puzzle palace finally realized that it's probably not smart going into summer with a pissed off pilot group and the FA's negotiations in impasse. We shall see...

There's a thread on the other forum board also. Seems scope is a big issue that was somehow not mentioned in the email. No scope protection equals a no vote.

What's the point of a few extra dollars if they are going to eventually farm out our jobs. Just look at what has happened around the industry. To somehow think Alaska Spirit will keep our jobs is foolish. Don't let the company punk us again.

Don't shoot it down for just scope. Look at the whole package including payscales.

Maybe the merger rumor is true. I heard from a jumpseater that Delta or Southwest is buying Alaska. I replied what are they going to do with all that land?

Maybe we can then refer to it as "Kelley's Folley."

It does mention "better protections for the flying we currently perform" so we'll have to see exactly what that is.

BS. Scope is key.
