ATN Update:
September 13, 2011
On Monday afternoon, the Merger and Negotiating Committees (MC and NC), accompanied by ALPA Director of Representation Bruce York, and Contract Administrator Andrew Brenner, convened with the SWAPA Negotiating and Merger Committee, and representatives of Southwest management at SWA headquarters in Dallas. During the meeting, management proposed a list of conditions, restrictions and economic proposals to accompany the seniority list put forth by SWA on August 31, 2011. As with the earlier package, the documents again consist of an LOA to the AirTran-ALPA CBA, a Side Letter to the SWAPA CBA, a Dispute Resolution Agreement, and a four-party Seniority Integration Agreement.
Following a series of questions and a discussion among the parties, the Monday session adjourned, after which the MC and NC conferred amongst themselves and with counsel. Later Monday evening, the MEC was briefed on the proposal.
On Tuesday morning, the MC, NC and counsel again discussed the package and strategy going forward, and later conferred with SWA managers on several points of the company’s proposal, while offering suggestions to enhance the document. SWAPA representatives held similar meetings with management. The parties will reconvene on Wednesday morning to continue discussions.
Due to the nature of the discussions, we are unable to discuss specifics of the proposed package, and because of the current volume of calls and e-mails, it is impossible to respond individually to every pilot. However, every question and comment is reviewed by the Merger Committee, so we invite you to continue sending your merger related questions and concerns to ATNMergerQuestions@alpa.org.
In service,
Your ATN MEC Merger Committee
