What would be the real difference between getting AMFA vs AMP in here now? AMFA has been around and has the funds and experience and AMP has what to offer as far as that goes?
Don't get me wrong, anyone but the TWSCREW will do pretty much, but explain to me why we droppped off the AMFA bandwagon and went to AMP? Is it beecause it's something that the AA /AMT guy's started? Just wondering.

From what I saw, AMFA became a dead issue because of the loss of jobs, pension, retiree medical, outsourcing, more flexible work rules, paycuts, loss of sick time, loss of some holidays, etc. that were existing shortly before they were certified at UAL, or through the bankruptcy process at UAL when they were the union. In addition, their refusal to give up 50% of the jobs at NWA led to the strike and more fear at AA. Remeber, all that was wrong in the world became AMFA's fault.

Compared that to the present fiasco, where we are taking more than 50% job loss since 2003, including the soon to be lost jobs, and the loss of pension, retiree medical, outsourcing, more flexible work rules, paycuts, loss of sick time, loss of some holidays, etc. Now we are second to last and soon to be last in compensation packages with all the equivalent cuts suffered elsewhere, but at least fleet service remained in the high end of their wage comparisons.

I cannot answer your question.

lol, was just wondering. well then after reading more on the amp website it's looking more like hey way to go. lets see what happens,maybe we can get another one in here.

Now all that would be needed, would be a 2/3 majority comparable to the last T/A and maybe the law, the company and the TWU would see that what what the mechanics want is best for the company.

Yeah, a tired subject of which niether will ever represent AA. The membership doesn't have the stones for it.
