Jamie Gillard for APFA Treasurer

Willingness to Serve Statement

You don't need to be a financial consultant to realize that 16 YEARS without a pay increase is too long. We're expected to get by on wages from 1995 knowing that inflation has exceeded 47%.

Rock Salomon

The idea that executives would have the nerve to ask for more concessions only shows that their audacity knows no bounds.

Some will say that this election is about "experience" and to that point I couldn't agree more - these past eight years have been nothing but a "painful" experience. Quite frankly, I'm tired of being a corporate punching bag.

Let's consider the 2003 Restructuring Agreement and all the experience behind it. That Side Letter of Agreement:

ELIMINATED:

— All Paid Holidays
— Article 6e Vacation Benefits
— Benefits for Overage Leaves
— Crew Meals
— EPT Training
— Furlough Pay
— IOD Salary Continuance
— Longevity Bonus
— Narrow Body Lead Pay
— Night Pay
— Part-Time
— Reserve Override
— the Pre-Vacation 48

INCREASED:

— Trip Selections to 77 Hours Domestic and 82 Int'l

RAISED:

— Monthly Maximum to 80 Domestic and 85 Int'l
— the Benefits Threshold to 420 hours per Year)

DOUBLED:

— Medical Benefit Contributions

REDUCED:

— Deadhead Credit from 100% to 50%
— Incentive Pay from 70 hours to 67
— Language Pay to Only the Market Flown
— Last Trip of the Month Pay Protection from Last 7 days to Last 5 Days
— Layover Rest to FAA Minimums
— Line Holder Guarantee to 70 Hours
— Pay Rates by 15.6%
— Per-Diem to $1.50 Dom. and $1.75 Int'l.
— Premium Rates 50% (Purser, Language, Galley)
— Sick Accrual to 3 hours per Month from 5
— Uniform Points from 18 to 12 with ZERO Carry-Over
— Vacation by 33%

It's time these executives start earning their keep and stop freeloading off the employees.

The idea that executives would have the nerve to ask for more concessions only shows that their audacity knows no bounds.

If you feel as I do, then I'm your next union treasurer.

APFA is OUR union. Let's take it back.
