THIS IS A PETITION TO REMOVE LAURA GLADING FROM OFFICE

#479: - Re: Re: Re: POST 401 

He doesn't run because ANYONE who competes against the estAAblishment is labled as "fringe, radical," not to mention is probably threatened by the corporation. FAs are one of the biggest workgroups on property and need to ditch the SHEEP-mindset and develop WARRIOR mentality.

You people are a disgrace.   When I look at some of the names that have signed this petition I could vomit.   You're a bunch of ingrates.   Most of you are completely uninformed and have no idea what you're talking about.    You think talking louder and throwing accusations around is going to accomplish something.   All it does is show what a bunch of vindictive, self centered , shrews you really are.  

I want someone to represent me, not the company.

 Who are thes arbitrators?? How much were they paid!!! This was planned from the beginning!!! First no 40 then it was added back after voting started(is that legal)?? Now the arbitrators want to give us a dollar raise each year- really!! Now DO is willing to put the rest if the money back in- still less than what we made 10 years ago- where is the raise????? 75 dollars holiday pay- let's say you make 40dollars a hour and you fly Shanghi which is 14 hrs from ord - what will you make for that trip on holiday verses being paid a flat out rate of 75 dollars? Where's the raise??? Not the same as other airlines really!!!yet the arbitrators come back with this - who paid them off????? Why are we being treated like this??? LG has got to go!!! Industry leadin contract I don't think so.......

#508: Facts - Re:  

 Just heard from girlfriend with Jnitdd she was late getting to Beinnjin which caused a legality for her working back so she DH back with full pay ! Change some of our work tiles and there's a raise right there!!! Need a new union wake up everybody !!!!

It was  understandable taking some concessions  10 years ago,  but now???  Really?? When the company is back on there feet and showing huge profits???  What is your problem???  It's complacenent  employee's like you that the company loves.   Have you not noticed you are working more for less???  Or are you just. " happy to have a job".  

We are a  family of  five.  And although we live within our means ,  I would like to have a life at home,  Not work more  and more to make up the differences  in the pay I've lost.  Don't bash the  people that are trying to fight for a better work environment  and quality of life.   

Our Union  leaders promised better things  in future contracts when  the  company got back on there feet. They lied.  The trust has been lost.  Your pathetic!

#512: - Re:  

 I saw I was working more for less when the TA was voted down...........I have seen nothing that indicates anyone in this workgroup is fighting for more, they just bitch and complain.    It is the same repeat bullshit that happens everytime we are in contract negotiations.    You don't think you are getting what you deserve, so you try to oust the union president, regardless of the good they have done.  It happened to Denise Hedges, John Ward (who didn't do much anyway), Tommie Hutto Blake  and now Laura Glading.   Put your money where your mouth is.   Run for Union President and get more for us........and if you don't, then we'll trash your reputation and get rid of you too.   You're full of shit.

 Outside union!!!!!!!!

#514: Solution - Re: Re: Re: ou 

 I 2nd that. All in favor..say CHAOS

While each member has his or her responsibility to educate themselves with the options, I felt this contract was very confusing and did not explain prior to openers that there were many portions that were NONEGOTIABLE!! LG did not give any emotional interest in comparing deltas industry leading and is still better than ours, but kept labeling ours as Industry leading!!! Already AlaskaAirlines has posted there new contract which in pay is better than our TA. While I commend the endless hours of blood sweat and tears ... It still is somewhat disturbing comparing our billions of profits and more to follow and yet we never seem to fly above a lost horizon . But AA will go on , and so must we. 

#519: -  

 Can you please post the full details of Alaska Airlines and Delta Airlines contracts please.  I would love to see the comparisons of their compensation packages and ours.   Please include a chart showing their hourly wage increases for the next 5 years compared to AA's.   Please include whether or not Alaska and Deltas pensions are terminated or frozen, as this will make a very big impact in retirement.   I would also like to see what match their flight attendants are getting on their 401k contributions.   Please also include their vacation accrual and sick time accrual.   Staffing is also important.  I just flew on a Delta A319 and their staffing was less than ours, please verify for us.    On a side note, I chatted with the Delta flight attendants on that same trip and they couldn't believe we voted the TA down.

There are many facets to a compensation package.  To say another airlines contract is better than ours simply by saying their hourly wage is higher is very short sighted.  The AA contract is industry leading..........you simply refuse to believe it.   

#520: - Re:  

 Your full of it! I hope I get a opputunity to fly with you- I would love to debate you!! I see you didn't mention the fact that Delta get profit sharing and their treated like valuable players in THEIR airline and they are without a UNION!!!! I also see that United was NOT mention in you pathetic comparison !!!! I know why because you don't even want to go there!! Your not talking to a dummy- I have very close friends with both and I know EVERYTHING about their work rules and their pay so go tell your lies to someone else it doesn't go over here!!!!!!

#521: Correction - Re: Re:  

 so please post your friend at Uniteds contract details so all of us can see them rather than just taking your pathetic word for it.

We need afa!
