Special APFA Hotline – Negotiations Update – November 10, 2014

---

 

The APFA Board of Directors and the Joint Negotiating Committee convened today via conference call to discuss the results of the T/A balloting and the road ahead.
 
APFA has asked the company to provide dates for mediation next week. Those dates will be announced as soon as they are set.

The Joint Negotiating Committee will be working with the APFA Board of Directors to determine the case APFA will present in arbitration, which is set to begin on December 3, 2014. As a reminder, the Negotiations Protocol Agreement guarantees the value of our arbitrated agreement:

1. is equal to “market-based in the aggregate,” and
2. as applied to pre-merger American Flight Attendants, has a total economic value which is greater than the total economic value of the American Airlines CLA as applied to pre-merger American Flight Attendants; and
3. as applied to pre-merger US Airways Flight Attendants, has a total economic value which is greater than the total economic value of the USA CBA as applied to pre-merger US Airways Flight Attendants.”
