RAH dispatcher contract

[Gimpy]

So I was reading that Republic/Chautauqua/Shuttle America's dispatcher's contract is up. What's the word? Did they come up with a new contract or what?

H*LL NO!!!! It will probably take a year

 

[Gimpy]

Why so long? What's the problem?

You dont want to know...

No one is going to be in any hurry. The union is already getting there money from the dispatchers and the company is not going to be gung ho to change the agreement they are already working under.

Oh but I do! I did ask after all.

It sounds like Shutupandfly might be right.
A 6 year contract might turn into a 7 or 8 year contract by the time it's signed again, I guess.

Doesn't seem that great.

The local leadership certainly makes some good money.

That payscale is rough. I don't know if its even worth having a contract with that.

Just stupid a stupid pay scale....not even close to other carriers...why in the heck would you guys agree to this? I thought the Delta connection carriers started at over $14.50 an hour? this contract puts you guys several years before you get to the starting pay elsewhere.... I don't know, I'm just saying.... kind of sucks..

$14.70 at SkyWest, with a raise at 6 months....
