NEWS: Comair Awaits Mechanic's Union Vote

Comair mechanics will vote next week on a proposed new contract that will cover them for the next 5 years. Yeah, yeah...I know...another union contract...what's the big deal. Be patient, I'm getting to it. The new deal will take maintenance work back from third party providers and give it to mechanics at new facilities and also give the mechanics a 2% pay raise. See, I told you it was news worthy.

Here's an airline that is actually not planning to outsource and is willing to give a group of unionized employees a raise (albeit a small one). This is especially surprising since they are asking the flight attendants and pilots to freeze their wages. Interesting decision, let's see how it plays out.
