The union is telling everyone in the AFW hangar that they do not have enough seniority to bump the system. If you get layed off from a station that no longer exists, you are terminated.

Heard the same cr@p from them in my shop. Getting the daily Kenny P. make it up as he goes BS. I'm just going to ignore him at this point. And this is coming from someone who wont have the sseniority to bump.

[TWU informer]

The Actual number reported is a total of 2850 AA employees from Tulsa

This includes all Union title Groups and Non-Union Employees.

There has been no public breakdown into detailed title group numbers to my knowledge.

The Pilots and F/A's have both stated the Term Sheet as a "starting point" to negotiate and they intend to move the ball to closer to the middle of the field for an agreement.

TWU has only said sign a website, townhall phone next week, and beyond that silent.

Everyone? Nobody has said a word to me nor anyone on my crew/dock. I have plenty of senority to bump the system. Try sticking to facts.

K Powell and The other union rep were spreading their spiel in our breakroom. They were doing their own math and said it would go down to 1990. I am just telling you what they said.

well I hope it works out for the twu then, because I'm sure alot of guys are sweating it out. The only way the twu WILLN'T get support from the memebership is if saving jobs equals pay cuts. No pays cuts they are taking way more than the 20% just the cost of are retire medical can someone please tell what that is worth on top of the pensions whats that worth.

We are one week into this term sheet and NOT one TWU representative that was in that meeting with the company has informed the membership the REAL numbers. Is it 2100 amt's in Tulsa that are losing their jobs or 2100 workers losing their job in Tulsa??? If it's the latter, then you're right Buster. What's the overall breakdown within ALL classifications????

WTF TWU!!!!!

You mean what does Mechanic and Related mean?

If overhaul was such an albatross around AA's neck, why didn't AA do away with it all?

I've said before that they, like all the other airlines, will keep a certain amount of O/H. Not even they know how much, but to rid themselves of all of it would be impractical, risky, and not well received by the public. They are also in the discovery stage of finding out who has the ability to do it with Timco possibly out of contention.
