AMFA SWA Technician Negotiations Update #20

The Negotiating Committee is providing this update to the AMFA Membership at Southwest Airlines. This report is the only official authorized source of negotiating communications by the Committee.

We met in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday, June 18 for the first of a scheduled two-day Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT) negotiations session. Surprisingly, the Company did not begin this session with yet another presentation, but rather decided to reiterate their five (5) "must have" concessionary items:

1) A twenty-hour duty limit.

2) Modifications to Article 2: Scope to achieve greater "efficiencies."

3) The contractual ability to utilize vendors to perform International Emergency Field Service.

4) An expanded wage scale for new hires.

5) Restrictions to paid rest entitlement when a day trade is involved.

Then they added "just two more":

6) Relief from the Arbitrator’s Inspector Backfill Ruling and the contractual obligation to backfill all temporary vacancies.

7) "Qualifications" to be determined by the Company, for specific bid locations.
