Company Proposal - September 10, 2004
Please click on the following link (FULL PROPOSAL HERE)
to view the latest Company proposal to AFA, dated Friday, September 10, 2004.
As you will read, this proposal does not:
-
Address improvements to sick or reserve that AFA insisted on in order to enter this round of negotiations.
-
This proposal does not indicate that the Company is willing to negotiate.
-
As of today, we have yet to hear what level of salary and benefit reductions management plans on taking.
-
And just this week the Company announced hiring yet one more Vice President in charge of restructuring!
Express your disgust with this most recent proposal and the Company's refusal to bargain in good faith to our CEO, Bruce Lakefield, at
bruce_lakefield@usairways.com. Make sure you ask Mr. Lakefield what management's salary and benefit reductions will encompass.
Your
MEC Officers
Latest Company Proposal -
September 10, 2004
This Company proposal to AFA dated September 10, 2004 covers items of pay, productivity, scope and benefits.
In brief, the proposal consists of the following:
- An initial 15% across-the-board pay reduction, offset in part by an expected 13% increase in pay hours, and further offset by raises beginning in 2008.
- A package of work rules that bring the Company to competitive levels vs. low-cost competitors. Significantly, the elimination of the current SAP and A/I List processes and their replacement with a new Drop/Pick-Up ("DPU") system which allows flight attendants to pick up from open time and to trip-trade.
- The elimination of the ITD and the high- and low-time options.
- Enhancements to the existing reserve system which will reduce the number of reserves and create opportunities for Reserves to fly more time during the month.
- An industry-leading profit sharing program, the implementation of which is subject to various conditions being met as the Company proceeds with its Transformation Plan.
- The elimination of post-retirement medical coverage, with grandfathering through age 65 (when Medicare is available) for current retirees, and, for future retirees, offset in part by new cash-out of accrued but unused sick leave at retirement.
- A voluntary leave with no recall, offered in seniority order, with a cash-out payment.
All terms contained herein are subject to final contract language in accordance with the terms herein.
