The TWU.

PAFCA baby!!

Can you (ASA) personal drop? That is, either give a shift away with pay loss, or drop a shift WITH pay loss if excess staffing? (I doubt there's much excess staffing except maybe in winter....)

No drops....Just swaps!!!

And yes, PAFCA....always.

Our pass benifits are we get unlimited S3's and 6 S2's on ASA flights. We get unlimited S3B's on Delta. Delta currently has S3B's on us which is nice becuase if you have a decent amount of seniority you pretty much are on any flight that has an open seat which isn't many these days but its nice to see your name at the top of the list occasionally. United wise....I'm not sure...it wasn't as good a deal but I can look it up later.

How about TWU dues at Xpress? Flat rate or percentage?

Actually we can sort of drop a day now if someone picks it up. Its new to us and I don't think many make use of it due to new contract versus e-time issues. I'll have to look into that also.

I am pretty sure the dues are 1.25% we just had a reduction as of the 1st of the year. The license premium more than covers the dues.

Congratulations ASA crew! Hope this merger works out well for all parties involved.
