Printed contract Discrepancies

January 8, 2008
E. Allen Hemenway
Vice President Labor Relations
US Airways Inc.

Re: Discrepancies contained in the newly printed Fleet Service Agreement.

Dear Mr. Hemenway,

This letter is notification to US Airways of unacceptable changes made in the printing of the Fleet Service Agreement dated May 8, 2008.

The following are the changes we would require to be rectified:

  1. Article 3.A.: (Removal of language)
    In accordance with Certification Case No. R-6248 by the National Mediation Board,
  2. Article 3.B.: (Removal of Language)
    In the attached (Attachment C) listing of stations served by US Airways Inc.
  3. Article 3.B.1.(b) : (Use of differing language)
    Effective with the date of this Agreement the Company will not outsource normal and customary Cargo work as described in Article 4.A.3 in PHX, LAS and LAX.
  4. Article 3.B.3(c): (Addition of language)
    Article improperly amended to not accurately reflect language contained in the Final Transition Agreement, Attachment A.3. Bullet point 3.
    Effective December 31, 2011, any of the following stations (ABQ, AUS, BUR, ELP, OAK, OMA, ONT, RNO, SJC, SLC, SMF, PDX, MSP, MCI, MKE, SEA, DEN, and SAN) may be out-sourced if they fall below twenty-eight (28) weekly jet departures on an annualized basis. The company has improperly amended the CBA to reflect the wording of “mainline weekly jet departures”.
  5. Article 4.A.5: (Improperly designated as Article 4.A.4 twice)
  6. Article 6.F.1 bullet point 1: (Addition of language)
    Addition of the word “classification”
  7. Article 6.F.2 bullet point 1: (Addition of language)
    Addition of words “in the classification”
  8. Article 8.B.1 : (Addition of language)
    Tower vacancies in PHL, CLT, LAS and PHX will be filled through a company selection process. The Tentative Agreement (Attachment A) shows this language to be pertinent to Article 4 (Classifications). Section 8 of Attachment A as it pertains to Article 8 (Filling of Vacancies) does not reflect the change in language to this Article.
  9. Article 9.C.9: (Language exists that should be deleted)
    Attachment A of the Letter of Agreement states:
    • Effective on the date of ratification, the 60 day rule will be eliminated for any furloughs
    that occur after that date.
  10. Article 15.J: (Addition of language)
    “Article 15” is inserted in place of “however”.
  11. Article 25.B. 2nd paragraph: (Modified Language)
    Language has changed from “In PIT, CLT and PHL” to “In any location with 275 or more
    employees” There is no supported Letter of Agreement.
  12. Article 28A. Paragraph 3: (Modification of Language)
    Removes the 18 month cap and leaves the period in which a Level III disciplinary letter remains in their file to be undetermined.
  13. Article 28.D: (Removal of Language)
    Removed the Language “convenient pocket size booklet”
    The size of the printed Contract was determined to be the size of the 1999 Contract. No Letter of Agreement exists to modify this Language.
  14. Removal of Letters of Agreement:
    • Re: Grievance Conversion dated April 5, 1999
    • Re: 10 Hour Work Study dated April 5, 1999
    • Re: Unused Vacation-401(k) dated April 5, 1999
    • Re: Implementation of Insurance Coverage Changes dated April 5, 1999
    • Re: Insurance dated September 17, 1999
    • Re: Lead Agent Positions dated July 10, 2000
    The preceding letters should remain for historical purposes.
  15. Modification of Attachment A – Co pays, Deductibles & OOP Maximums
    Deductible rate for single plan is removed.
  16. Company to IAM Fleet Service Proposal dated January 5, 2005 is removed.
    The Proposal should remain for historical purposes.
  17. Attachment C (Removal of Attachment)
  18. Addendum A and Addendum B (Removal of Addendums)
    Addendums should remain for historical purposes

In accordance with Article 29 of the Agreement, amendments to the agreement must be agreed to in writing. As such, these modifications have not met approval of the representatives of District 141. The remedy we are seeking is that the above changes be restored and that the Agreement be re-printed and adequately bound in a convenient pocket size booklet as represented by the original bound 1999 Agreement.

Sincerely:
Michael T. Crowell
Assistant General Chairman
