Don't think he was seeking info from you particularly. He posted in a THREAD about it, in which there have been multiple respondents. Yet you got all butt-hurt about it for some reason.

I'm not butt hurt at all. I might be a jerk from time to time when I think its justified but I'm not upset in the least. I simply made a statement that I would not be a source of information any further.

We're heartbroken.
 
We actually have a 4-tiered pay scale based on our profitability. If we achieve a 20% profit margin we reach tier 4. Currently, were on tier 3.

I haven't looked at the most recent quarterly to see if we actually hit the 20% mark, they may just be artificially jumping us to the next tier.

Which is clearly crap, and also why we at JetBlue are interested in this case.

It is a bit different, though. Although your contracts weren't collectively bargained, they are indeed contracts. There's a very real argument to be made that there is no contract at all at Allegiant, just an "employee handbook" style document, which doesn't create a status quo obligation. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a judge higher up the appeals chain decide that there was never a status quo obligation to begin with at Allegiant.

This is why I'm following this with some level of detached interest too, should the "hey, we just certified ALPA" day ever come. (Our policy manual starts with a letter of agreement.)

That, and it's just fun.
 
I only volunteered on our Grievance Committee for a short time before I was furloughed but it seems the grievance process is the correct way to resolve an issue of the company refusing to honor parts of the contract. If it is as blatant as they say it would be resolved in a fairly quick manner. I've never heard the term "status quo strike" before.

You've probably never embezzled pension funds, either. Hence the difference with the trucker's union.
